EPPO Reporting Service (2007/143) : only a single infestation in Netherlands. In 2004/2005, the plants were physically removed with the aim of eradication. No regrowth has been observed, but there is a possibility that seeds may germinate, so the plant will only be declared eradicated after 5 years of absence.
