Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Plant Health (PLH) Panel performed a
risk assessment for Atropellis spp. in the EU focusing on the risk of entry, the host range and the
potential impacts. Atropellis is a fungal pathogen of several Pinus spp. in North America. The pathogen
has not been reported from Europe and is a quarantine pest regulated in Annex IIAI of Council
Directive 2000/29/EC on plants (other than fruit and seeds), isolated bark and wood of Pinus. The
main pathways of entry considered were Pinus plants, wood and isolated bark. Given the ban of
importing Pinus plants from outside Europe into the EU and the lack of information on EU imports of
isolated Pinus bark, only the wood pathway was assessed quantitatively. The conclusion of the
assessment of entry for scenario A0 (current regulatory situation) is that the risk of entry of Atropellis
spp. is close to zero. This conclusion is expected to apply also in the case of removing the specific
Atropellis regulations, because of the remaining generic Pinus requirements, as well as in a scenario
with additional risk reduction options. The uncertainty associated with this assessment is relatively
limited, given that all the quartiles of the estimated distribution of the number of potential founder
populations are close to zero. For the North American Pinus spp. known to be susceptible and widely
planted in the EU (mainly P. contorta and P. strobus), the damage observed in North America (loss of
wood quality, stem deformations, mortality in young stands, environmental consequences) is expected
in the EU to a similar (or higher) degree, should the pathogen be introduced. Similar impacts are
expected on the European Pinus spp. known to be host of Atropellis spp. These include widespread
and locally abundant species such as P. nigra, P. sylvestris and P. pinaster. There are, however, large
uncertainties associated with this impact assessment due to the unknown susceptibility of several other
Pinus spp. present in Europe. There is a need for research on the susceptibility to Atropellis spp. of
those European Pinus spp. [-]
