bd1b679c-b5d5-48be-9cf5-3320ba28f9e3 EU 2025-04-14 In 2022, EFSA was mandated by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (M-2022-00070) to provide technical assistance on the list of Union quarantine pests qualifying as priority pests, as specified in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against plant pests. As part of Task C, EFSA conducted expert knowledge elicitations for candidate priority pests, focusing on the lag period, expansion rate and the impact on production (yield and quality losses) and the environment. This report provides the rationale for the dataset on Agrilus anxius, delivered to the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, to feed into the Impact Indicator for Priority Pests (I2P2) model and complete the pest prioritisation ranking exercise.
