Summary of the information used for the evaluation	Possibility that the pest could become associate with the commodity The pest is reported on Malus domestica. Eggs are laid on branches where nymphs and adults also feed. Measures taken against the pest and their efficacy The relevant proposed measures are: (i) Inspection, certification and surveillance, (ii) Roguing and pruning, (iii) Pesticide application, (iv) Refrigeration and (v) Pre‐consignment inspection. Interception records There are no records of interceptions from Turkey. Shortcomings of current measures/procedures Visual detection of pest adults and nymphs is not difficult, though eggs laid on branches can be overlooked. No details are given on which pesticides are applied from those listed in Dossier, Section 2.0, on the pesticide application schedule and on the application methods. Low temperatures can slow down its development but not kill the insect. Main uncertainties • Eggs can be overlooked • Symptoms (i.e. honeydew and sooty moulds) may be misclassified with other pests • The insecticide applications are not targeted to P. pyri and may not be effective
