Table 7.
Assessment of the likelihood of pest freedom following evaluation of current risk mitigation measures against Calepitrimerus baileyi, Cenopalpus irani, Cicadatra persica, Diplodia bulgarica, Hoplomaimus galeatus, Lopholeucaspis japonica, Malocosoma parallela, Pratylenchus loosi, Pyrolachnus pyri and tomato ringspot virus on Malus domestica plants designated for export to the EU. In panel A, the median value for the assessed level of pest freedom for each pest is indicated by ‘M’, the 5% percentile is indicated by L, and the 95% percentile is indicated by U. The percentiles together span the 90% uncertainty range regarding pest freedom. The pest freedom categories are defined in panel B of the table
