  1. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Eradication,Containment and Contingency Planning

  2. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization EPPO has developed many Regional Standards which are relevant for eradication and containment…

  3. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization EPPO standard on phytosanitary measures: General phytosanitary measures (4) Phytosanitary procedures (73) Production of healthy plants for planting (34) Pest risk analysis (4) Safe use of biological control (3) Diagnostic protocols for regulated pests (89) Commodity-specific phytosanitary measures (2) National regulatory control systems (7) Phytosanitary treatments (12)

  4. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Following standards are in particular important for eradication:ISPM No. 9 Guidelines for pest eradication programmesPM 9 National regulatory control systems(Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, Ralstonia solanacearum, Diabrotica virgifera, Synchytrium endobioticum, Heterodera glycines, Ambrosia artemisiifolia)PM 9 Generic elements for contingency plans

  5. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization ISPM 9Scope: describes the components of a pest eradication programmewhich can lead to the establishment or re-establishment of pest absence in an area.

  6. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Components:- general preparation- decision to eradicate, on the basis of detection, identification, pest distribution, investigation, survey, feasibility eradication

  7. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Components (continued):- eradication process delimiting/monitoring surveys containment official measures- verification- declaration- review

  8. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Critical points:- early detection and estimation of spread- operational and economic info- cost/benefit analysis for eradication programme- review of programme if needed

  9. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization ISPM 9 recommends contingency plans:- for pests with high potential of introduction- eradication very important and feasible

  10. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization EPPO developed RSPM: Generic elements for contingency plansPurpose: In combination with standards on NRCS will help countries to draft pest specific contingency plansFor pests with a major economic and/or environmental impact

  11. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization This RSPM lists 12 essential elements:1. background information2. initiation of contingency plan3. official actions on presumptive diagnosis4. official actions to eradicate after final confirmation

  12. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization 5. Review of measures in cases of prolonged official action6. Completion of statutory action7. Command structure8. Stakeholder consultation

  13. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization 9. Internal communication and documentation10. External communication11. Testing and training of personnel12. Evaluation and revision of contingency plan

  14. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Challenge: develop decision support tool, to guide eradication and containment actions

  15. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Workshop on Eradication,Containment and Contingency Planning

  16. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Nova Gorica (SI) 2009-02-10/12 Target group 52 experts from 25 countries

  17. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Objectives workshop: • Exchange experiences and lessons learned • Identify success factors • Critical elements for contingency plans • Implications of ISPM No. 9

  18. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Critical factors: • Biological • Cost/benefit • Operational

  19. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Biological, linked to location: -life cycle -optimal flying period -preferred hosts -population density of pest and/or host -tailor-made measures linked to scale of outbreak

  20. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Biological – uncertainty detection • Early detection • Routine testing or sampling • Efficacy of traps; risk of false negatives • Effective trapping strategy

  21. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Biological – long term factors: • Climate change • Uncertainty alternative control measures • Limited practical value

  22. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Cost/benefit factors -Role of financial compensation -Limited resources at start -Estimate of benefits -How to determine turning point -Justification Q-status

  23. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Operational factors – general aspects: • Communication with different groups • Motivating farmers/growers

  24. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Operational factors: -conflict of interests -delegation authority -availability of PPPs -access to private areas -logistical planning of machinery and manpower

  25. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Operational factors (continued): -tracing forward -timing of removal of infested material -enforcement official actions -disposal of infested material

  26. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization Follow-up… Questions?

  27. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization • Discussion questions: • Are contingency plans drafted in your region? For which pests?

  28. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization What do you consider the most important elements in a contingency plan?

  29. European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization What do you consider the most critical success/failure factors in eradicating an outbreak?
