Commodity risk assessment of Robinia pseudoacacia plants from Turkey.

ABSTRACT: The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation EU/2018/2019 as 'High risk plants, plant products and other objects'. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by bare rooted and potted plants of Robinia pseudoacacia that are imported from Turkey, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by the Turkish NPPO. The relevance of any pest for this opinion was based on evidence following defined criteria. Three species, the EU-quarantine pests Anoplophora chinensis and Lopholeucapsis japonica, and the EU non-regulated pest Phocazia shantungensis fulfilled all relevant criteria
