| For column 1: | Indicate the year of the survey. In the case of a survey report to request a protected zone, include the data of at least the three preceding years, using a separate row for each year. |
| For column 2: | Indicate the scientific name of the protected zone quarantine pest (as listed in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 or the most accepted scientific name when the pest is not yet listed), using one row per pest. |
| For column 3: | Indicate the name of the protected zone, using separate rows when there is more than one protected zone for the same pest in the territory of the Member State, as listed in Annex III to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. |
| For column 4: | Indicate the zone: PZ (protected zone), BZ (buffer zone) or IB (inner band), using different rows. |
| For column 5: | Indicate the number and the description of the survey sites, by choosing one (or more) of the following entries for the description, and the number of surveys done:- 1.Open air (production area): 1.1 field (arable, pasture); 1.2 orchard/vineyard; 1.3 nursery; 1.4 forest;
- 2.Open air (other): 2.1 private gardens; 2.2 public sites; 2.3 conservation area; 2.4 wild plants in areas other than conservation areas; 2.5 other, with specification of the particular case (e.g. garden centre, commercial sites that uses wood packaging material, wood industry, wetlands, irrigation and drainage network, etc.);
- 3.Physically closed conditions: 3.1 greenhouse; 3.2 private site, other than greenhouse; 3.3 public site, other than greenhouse; 3.4 other, with specification of the particular case (e.g. garden centre, commercial sites that uses wood packaging material, wood industry).
|
| For column 6: | Indicate the months of the year when the surveys were carried out. |
| For column 7: | Indicate the chosen target population providing accordingly the list of host species and area covered. The target population is defined as the ensemble of inspection units. Its size is defined typically for agricultural areas as hectares, but could be lots, fields, greenhouses etc. Please justify the choice made in the underlying assumptions. Indicate the inspection units surveyed. "Inspection unit" means plants, plant parts, commodities, materials, pest vectors that had been scrutinised for identifying and detecting the pests. If the area of the target population is not available, indicate N/A and include the number of inspection units that compose the target population. |
| For column 8: | Indicate the epidemiological units surveyed, indicating its description and unit of measurement. "Epidemiological unit" means a homogeneous area where the interactions between the pest, the host plants and the abiotic and biotic factors and conditions would result into the same epidemiology, should the pest be present. The epidemiological units are a subdivision of the target population that are homogenous in terms of epidemiology with at least one host plant. In some cases the whole host plant population in a region/area/country may be defined as epidemiological unit. They could be NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) regions, urban areas, forests, rose gardens or farms, or hectares. The choice of the epidemiological units has to be justified in the underlying assumptions. |
| For column 9: | Indicate the methods used during the survey including the number of activities in each case, depending on the specific legal pest survey requirements of each pest. Indicate with NA when the information of certain column is not available. |
| For column 10: | Indicate an estimation of the sampling effectiveness. Sampling effectiveness means the probability of selecting infected plant parts from an infected plant. For vectors, it is the effectiveness of the method to capture a positive vector when it is present in the survey area. For soil, it is the effectiveness of selecting a soil sample containing the pest when the pest is present in the survey area. |
| For column 11: | "Method sensitivity" means the probability of a method to correctly detect pest presence. The method sensitivity is defined as the probability that a truly positive host is detected and confirmed as positive and it is not misidentified. It is the multiplication of the sampling effectiveness (i.e. probability of selecting infected plant parts from an infected plant) by the diagnostic sensitivity (characterised by the visual examinations and/or laboratory test used in the identification process). |
| For column 12: | Provide the risk factors in different rows, using as many rows as necessary. For each risk factor indicate the risk level and corresponding relative risk and proportion of host plant population. |
| For column B: | Indicate the details of the survey, depending on the specific legal pests survey requirements for each pest. Indicate with N/A when the information of certain column is not applicable. The information to be provided in these columns is related to the information included in the column 9 "Detection methods". |
| For column 18: | Indicate the number of trapping sites in case this number differs from the number included in the column 16 "No of traps" (e.g. the same trap is used in different places). |
| For column 20: | Indicate the number of samples found positive, negative or undetermined. "Undetermined" are those analysed samples for which no result was obtained due to different factors (e.g. below detection level, unprocessed sample-not identified, old). |
| For column 21: | Indicate the outbreak notifications of the year when the survey took place. The outbreak notification number does not need to be included when the competent authority has decided that the finding is one of the cases referred to in Articles 14(2), Article 15(2) or Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031. In this case, please indicate the reason for not providing this information in column 24 ("Comments"). |
| For column 22: | Indicate the sensitivity of the survey, as defined in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) No 31 ("Methodologies for sampling of consignments"). This value of the achieved confidence level of pest freedom is calculated based on the examinations (and/or samples) performed given the method sensitivity and the design prevalence. |
| For column 23: | Indicate the design prevalence based on a pre-survey estimate of the likely actual prevalence of the pest in the field. The design prevalence is set as a goal of the survey and corresponds to the compromise the risk managers are making between the risk of having the pest and the resources available for the survey. Typically, for a detection survey a value of 1 % is set. |
| For column 24: | Include any other relevant information and, where applicable, information about the results of the surveys of asymptomatic plants with positive results. |
