Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest
categorisation of the seed-borne bacterium Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens. The
pest is regulated in Council Directive 2000/29/EC (Annex IIB) as a harmful organism whose
introduction into, and spread within, the protected zones (PZ) of Greece, Portugal and Spain shall be
banned if present on seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris and of Dolichos. The bacterium is widely distributed
outside the EU and causes a systemic vascular disease (bacterial wilt of bean) as well as bacterial tan
spot disease on soybean. The pest was sporadically recorded in several EU Member States in the past,
but is currently not known to occur in the EU. The identity of the bacterium is well established and
identification methods are available. The major host is common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), but other
crops and weeds are, or may be, hosts or play a role as reservoirs, with uncertainties. Seed
transmission remains uncertain for minor and alternative host species. The main pathway for entry is
seed. The role of other pathways (e.g. irrigation water and infected residues) is uncertain. Should the
bacterium enter the EU (including the PZ), it may establish, spread and have an impact on its host
crops. The use of healthy seeds is the most effective control measure. Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens
pv. flaccumfaciens fits all the criteria assessed by EFSA to be regarded as a Union quarantine pest. [-]
