New EU Regulations


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/356 removes Leucinodes pseudorbonalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae – EPPO A1 List) from the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1941.

The Implementing Regulation 2022/1630 establishing measures for the containment of Grapevine flavescence dorée phytoplasma (EPPO A2 List) has been amended. This is a consequence of surveys carried out in Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain. Eradication of this pest is no longer considered possible in some demarcated areas in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France) and in Tuscany and Lombardy (Italy). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/358 lists demarcated areas in these countries where containment measures are applied. Buffer zones have been established in Austria as a consequence of demarcation of infested areas in Slovenia.

An amendment has been adopted on the Implementing Regulation 2022/1927 on containment of Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae - EPPO A2 List). This is a consequence of surveys carried out in Croatia, France, Greece, and Italy showing that eradication of this pest was no longer possible in the counties of Dubrovnik Neretva, Primorje-Gorski and Split Dalmatia in Croatia, in Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur in France, in the Regional Units of Achaia, Argolida and Corinthia, and the Region of Attica in Greece, and in the regions Abruzzo, Basilicata, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Apulia, Sicily and Tuscany in Italy. Commission Implementing Regulations 2025/1075 lists demarcated areas in these countries where containment measures are applied.

The Implementing Regulation 2022/1372 defining measures to prevent the entry and spread of Meloidogyne graminicola (EPPO A2 List) has been amended so that temporary measures in the containment areas are prolonged up to 30 June 2026.
