However, damage would not be expected in most years since only one generation is likely to be possible, and economic damage is only reported in regions with multiple generations per year. Given that the organism is widely distributed elsewhere in Europe I would support repeal of 2006/91/EC to allow plant health resources to focus on pests of more immediate concern.
