The European Commission requested EFSA to conduct a pest categorisation of Sternochetus mangiferae
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a monophagous pest weevil whose larvae exclusively feed on mango seeds,
whereas adults feed on mango foliage. S. mangiferae is a species with reliable methods available for
identification. It is regulated in the EU by Council Directive 2000/29/EC where it is listed in Annex IIB as a
harmful organism whose introduction into EU Protected Zones (PZ) (Alentejo, Algarve and Madeira in
Portugal, and Granada and Malaga in Spain) is banned. S. mangiferae is native to South East Asia and
has spread to other mango-growing areas in Africa, South America and Oceania, causing significant
damage. Larvae of S. mangiferae have been detected several times in mango fruit imported into the EU.
In 2013, an outbreak was declared in one PZ in Spain. Official measures taken achieved eradication,
which was officially declared in January 2018. The EFSA Plant Health Panel concludes that S. mangiferae
could establish again and spread in the mango-growing areas of southern EU. Considering the criteria
within the remit of EFSA to assess the status as a potential Union quarantine pest (QP), as a potential
protected zone quarantine pest (PZQP) or as a potential regulated non-quarantine pest (RNQP),
S. mangiferae meets with no uncertainties the criteria for consideration as a potential Union QP, as it is
absent from the EU, potential pathways for entry exist, and its establishment would cause an economic
impact. The criterion of the pest being present in the EU, which is a prerequisite for RNQP and PZ QP, is
not met. [-]
