Liberibacter asiaticus,
Ralstonia solanacearum, Synchitrium endobioticum,
Little Cherry Virus, Pospiviroids on Solanaceae, Begomoviruses,
Epitrix spp., Thrips setosus,
Meloidogyne spp. Lecanosticta acicola, Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus,
Changes in EPPO Pest Lists and other pest priorities
•
Many EPPO Standards (diagnostic, inspection, and national
regulatory control systems) include elements of surveillance
•
EPPO is working with EFSA on ways of collaborating to produce
more guidance; surveillance in the EU is becoming mandatory for
priority pests, and more co-ordinated, with EU co-funding
•
EPPO is joint steward in surveillance pilot for
Xylella fastidiosa
•
EPPO is developing a Standard on raising public awareness to
encourage pest reporting (specification has been agreed)
Surveillance Projects and Activities
•
Globally
Co-ordinate planning and funding of phytosanitary research by
extending or copying the Euphresco network
Continue collaboration on diagnostic protocols
Improve horizon scanning, e.g. through use of sentinel plants
Develop commodity standards, creating "toolboxes" of measures
to simplify implementation and facilitate trade
Continue to facilitate work on e-Phyto (e.g. through
development of Codes)
Proposals for Further Collaboration
•
Within EPPO region, initially
develop platforms for exchange of information on
planned and completed PRAs
applications to release biological control agents
emerging cases of resistance to plant protection products
gene sequence data (including Q-bank)
biological collections and specimens
develop guidance on use of pheromones in surveillance
strengthen links between plant quarantine and ppp regulation
continue to develop inspection Standards
continue to develop prioritisation systems
Proposals for Further Collaboration
•
Making efficient use of resources
Resources for plant health are unlikely to increase substantially -
we have to collaborate effectively between IPPC, RPPOs, NPPOs,
academia and industry
•
Simplifying measures to facilitate safe trade
Measures must be justified by PRA
but
200 importing countries x
200 exporting x 300 trades x 300 pests = 3600000000 measures!
Need Commodity Standards with agreed "toolbox" of measures.
•
Increasing collaboration on research
See Australia SPG and Euphresco TC papers
•
Improving horizon scanning for new threats
Sentinel plants (requires international trust and co-operation)
Other ways of seeing what is coming before it comes?
•
Earlier detection of outbreaks and pest presence
Technology is changing fast - can we adapt and use it quickly for
improving early detection of pests new to an area?
Emerging issues in plant health
•
An international network of plant health research funders
and managers:
•
Mapping existing research programmes
•
Developing a common strategic research agenda
•
Making annual calls for topics for transnational funding:
2015 round funded 15 projects, with 3.6 m€, from 29 countries
2016 round has so far short-listed 24 research topics
Euphresco
•
Euphresco started in 2006 through EU funding for
European Research Area Networks (“ERA-nets”)
•
Facilitation of co-operation in research was one of the
functions set out in the 1951 EPPO Convention
•
2014 it was agreed EPPO was the right organisation to
host a self-sustaining long term network
•
Running costs are covered by annual payments of at least
3000 Euros from each network member
•
Currently 35 members of Euphresco across 26 countries,
24 of which are EPPO member countries.

•
Annual Governing Board meeting makes decisions
•
Network Management Group (6-8 representatives,
elected by Governing Board) implements them
•
Some members are EPPO NPPOs (or close)
•
From 2017 all EPPO members will also be members of
Euphresco, paying through the annual contribution an
amount covering about half the costs
Membership and Governance
•
Other members are funders and managers of plant
health research from:
different departments or levels of government
research institutes
countries outside the EPPO region.
•
These other members are fully involved in the
activities and governance of Euphresco and contribute
towards costs of running the network through payment
of at least 3000€ per year

A Global Future?
•
Benefits of phytosanitary research collaboration not
limited to Europe!...
Efficiencies of scale
Avoidance of duplication
Drawing on the best expertise
Studying pests where they occur
•
Euphresco could grow to become a global network
•
Euphresco could be a model for other regions
•
Should present options at CPM in 2018
•
Could link to "Plant Health and Environment Theme"
through choice of examples of successful collaboration
The European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) was established in 1951 and has grown to encompass 51 member countries across Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Central Asia. EPPO focuses on plant quarantine and protection products, with a dedicated team managing various programs. The organization collaborates on projects such as Euphresco and works on harmonizing data requirements for plant protection. Phytosanitary regulations, global affairs, forestry, potatoes, and invasive plants are among the key areas of work for EPPO.

Earlier detection of outbreaks and pest presence Technology is changing fast - can we adapt and use it quickly for improving early detection of pests new to an area?
Euphresco An international network of plant health research funders and managers: Mapping existing research programmes Developing a common strategic research agenda Making annual calls for topics for transnational funding: 2015 round funded 15 projects, with 3.6 m , from 29 countries 2016 round has so far short-listed 24 research topics
History Euphresco started in 2006 through EU funding for European Research Area Networks ( ERA-nets ) Facilitation of co-operation in research was one of the functions set out in the 1951 EPPO Convention 2014 it was agreed EPPO was the right organisation to host a self-sustaining long term network Running costs are covered by annual payments of at least 3000 Euros from each network member Currently 35 members of Euphresco across 26 countries, 24 of which are EPPO member countries.
Membership and Governance Annual Governing Board meeting makes decisions Network Management Group (6-8 representatives, elected by Governing Board) implements them Some members are EPPO NPPOs (or close) From 2017 all EPPO members will also be members of Euphresco, paying through the annual contribution an amount covering about half the costs
Membership and Governance Other members are funders and managers of plant health research from: different departments or levels of government research institutes countries outside the EPPO region. These other members are fully involved in the activities and governance of Euphresco and contribute towards costs of running the network through payment of at least 3000 per year
Some projects funded under EUPHRESCO I Strategies for Ambrosia artemisiifolia control Development and validation of innovative diagnostic tools for the detection of fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) Evaluating the risk of spread of Scaphoideus titanus with propagation material Decision support systems for control of alien invasive macrophytes Development of validated procedures for whole genome amplification of DNA/RNA for quarantine plant pathogens and pests Ring test on diagnostic methods for Pantoea stewartii spp. stewartii, maize bacterial blight Detection and management of the quarantine nematodes Meloidogyne chitwoodi and Meloidogyne fallax
Some projects funded under EUPHRESCO II Use of novel molecular methods to understand population diversity and its implications on disease management through the use of resistant potato varieties (Potato Cyst Nematode) Development and validation of innovative diagnostic tools for detection and identification of Meloidogyne enterolobii in support of integrated plant protection strategies Epidemiological studies on reservoir hosts and potential vectors of Grapevine flavescence dor e (GFD) and validation of different diagnostic procedures for GFD Bursaphelenchus xylophilus methods for early detection Plant Health Fellowship IPM strategies against Drosophilidae

A Global Future? Benefits of phytosanitary research collaboration not limited to Europe!... Efficiencies of scale Avoidance of duplication Drawing on the best expertise Studying pests where they occur Euphresco could grow to become a global network Euphresco could be a model for other regions Should present options at CPM in 2018 Could link to "Plant Health and Environment Theme" through choice of examples of successful collaboration
