The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the gall midge
Aschistonyx eppoi
Inouye
(1964) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), for the EU.
A. eppoi
is a well-de
fi
ned and distinguishable species,
native to Japan and Korea, and recognised as a pest of
Juniperus chinensis
, although our knowledge is
solely based on one unique publication.
A. eppoi
is absent from the EU, and is listed in Annex IIAI of
Directive 2000/29/EC. Its host plants,
Juniperus
spp. are also listed in Annex III of Directive 2000/29/EC.
Plants for planting and branches are considered as pathways for this pest.
A. eppoi
has been intercepted
twice (1974; 1975) in the EU and has been eradicated. The pest is likely to affect bonsai plants of
J. chinensis
if it were to establish in the EU territory. However, as it is unknown whether
A. eppoi
would
attack the
Juniperus
spp. that occur in the EU, its potential impact on the wild vegetation is also
unknown. As the pest originates from areas with warm climates, impact outdoors would affect the
southern parts of the EU. Cultural control (destruction of infested material) and chemical control are the
major control methods. All criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as a potential quarantine pest are
met, although there are high uncertainties regarding impact. The species is presently absent from the
EU, and thus the criteria for consideration as a potential regulated non-quarantine pest are not met. [-]
