Abstract

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health was asked to deliver a statement on a study proposal prepared by the US to support a future derogation request from the Community import requirements for wood packaging material (WPM) originating in the US and used to pack and transport military ammunition. The Panel reviewed the submitted study proposal and based its conclusions on the shortcomings identified in the study proposal. It was concluded that, due to these shortcomings, the evaluation of the methodological approach described in this study proposal with regard to: 1.the determination of the likelihood that live pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) and other harmful organisms relevant for the Community are present in the WPM used by the US Department of Defense to pack and transport military ammunition (Pest survey component), 2. the assessment of the likelihood that harmful organisms may be introduced into the Community through the WPM pathway (Pathway Risk Analysis component) cannot be conducted.
