311edad9-b887-4114-b000-c637404670ab EPPO 2023-09-30 EPPO Report of a Pest Risk Analysis for <i>Crisicoccus pini</i> (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) Based on this PRA, Crisicoccus pini was added to the EPPO Lists of pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests in 2023. Measures for a number of commodities are recommended. 


C. pini meets all the criteria to qualify as a quarantine pest. It has a limited distribution in the EPPO region, and measures aiming at containment of the pest (Decree from Emilia Romagna DPG/2022/9037 2022/05/06 based on biological control and elimination of infested parts or of whole trees) are implemented by the Italian NPPO.

C. pini has been considered by EFSA to satisfy all the criteria that are within its remit to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest (EFSA, 2021).

C. pini poses a risk to the EPPO region and risk management options should be considered.
