Notes: The introduction of this pest would likely have an economic impact on several crops in the EU as it can cause significant damage to host plants. Uncertainty exists, however, about the magnitude of yield and quality losses due to the insect, and this is a key uncertainty. All criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as a potential quarantine pest are met.
