N	Risk mitigation measure	Effect on the pest	Evaluation and uncertainties
1	Registration of production sites	Yes	As the plant passport is very similar to the EU one, the plants shall be free from quarantine pests and RNQPs. Uncertainties – None
2	Physical separation	Yes	Physical separation from the surroundings and from soil would reduce infections. Uncertainties – None
3	Certified plant material	Yes	Seedlings could be a pathway for the nematode. Uncertainties – None
4	Growing media	Yes	Heat treatment and protection of the treated growing media is effective against the nematode. Uncertainties – None
5	Surveillance, monitoring and sampling	Yes	This measure can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties – The capability of detecting infections by the pest, especially in the case of early infections
6	Hygiene measures	Yes	This measure can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties – None
7	Removal of infested plant material	Yes	This measure can have some effect against the nematode as the removal of infested plants will reduce the inoculum. Uncertainties – None
8	Irrigation water	Yes	Measures aiming at cleaning the irrigation water including filtering can have some effects against nematodes as they can spread via irrigation water. Uncertainties – None
9	Application of pest control measures	No	Not relevant. No nematicides are used in the nurseries.
10	Measures against soil pests	Yes	Separation of the pots from soil is effective against the nematode. Uncertainties – None
11	Inspections and management of plants before export	Yes	This assessment can have some effect against the nematode. Uncertainties – The capability of detecting infections by the pest, especially in the case of early infections
12	Separation during transport to the destination	No	Not relevant. The nematode cannot spread between the roots of the plants when transported to the EU.
