Selected options for official control of hosts and pathways currently unregulated (a full list is available in EFSA PLH Panel, 2018). Official control is the effective enforcement of mandatory phytosanitary procedures with the objective of eradication or containment of quarantine pests or for the management of regulated non‐quarantine pests
