COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1231
of 27 August 2020
on the format and instructions for the annual reports on the results of the surveys and on the format of the multiannual survey programmes and the practical arrangements, respectively provided for in Articles 22 and 23 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and the Council
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on protective measures against pests of plants, amending Regulations (EU) No 228/2013, (EU) No 652/2014 and (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 69/464/EEC, 74/647/EEC, 93/85/EEC, 98/57/EC, 2000/29/EC, 2006/91/EC and 2007/33/EC (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 22(3) and Article 23(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 establishes the obligations for Member States to carry out risk-based surveys for the presence of Union quarantine pests and signs and symptoms of any pest subject to the measures referred to in Article 29 or to measures adopted pursuant to Article 30(1), in areas where the pests concerned were not known to be present, and to report to the Commission and the other Member States each year the results of these surveys. |
(2) |
Likewise, Article 24 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 establishes the obligation for Member States to carry out annually the surveys of priority pests as set out in Article 22(1) and 22(2). |
(3) |
Upon a request of the Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) has developed a toolkit for plant pest surveillance, with pest survey cards for Union quarantine pests and specific guidelines for a statistically sound and risk-based pest survey approach and specific information on surveys for specific pests. The aim of that toolkit is to assist Member States in survey designing and implementation to ensure a coherent approach across the Union territory. |
(4) |
To ensure a uniform presentation of Member States’ results of surveys, a standard format of the annual report should be adopted for all relevant pests, including instructions how to fill them in. That format should be based on the elements listed in Article 22(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 and on the applicable survey requirements set out by the implementing acts adopted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 for specific pests, as well as on the respective pest survey cards and, where appropriate, specific guidelines, developed by the Authority for that purpose. In order to ensure a comprehensive approach, the format should cover the surveys on Union quarantine pests and pests subject to the measures of Articles 29 and 30 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031, in those areas where the pests are not known to be present in the Union. |
(5) |
However, there will be some pests for which certain implementing acts of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 will require to carry out statistically based surveys. In the case of certain pests, Member States may decide to use the statistically based approach. It is therefore appropriate to establish a specific format for the statistically based surveys, because it would suit better the presentation of the elements of such surveys. |
(6) |
That format of the multiannual survey programmes and the practical arrangements for the application of the elements set out in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 to specific pest risks should be based on the experience obtained so far by the Member States with regard to the design, conduct, reporting and presentation of surveys and the Authority’s pest survey cards and, where appropriate, the guidelines for specific pests on surveillance. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

1.2. Instructions on how to fill in the template
For column 1: With the exception of the ‘Group 1 – Authorised places of production’, it is optional to report per group of pests. When applicable, indicate the group of pests surveyed together (e.g. citrus pests, deciduous forest pests, coniferous forest pests, cereal pests, potato pests, other (please specify)). In those cases when a pest is included in several groups, please report the information for that pest accordingly in each group.
For the ‘Group 1 – Authorised places of production’, indicate the list of pests for which surveys were carried out and the results of the surveys, using more than one row when necessary to specify different survey sites of Column 4 ‘Survey sites’. In this group, please provide the data per pest, without aggregating at the group level. Authorised places of production are those places whose operator is authorised by the competent authority to issue plant passports.
For column 2: Indicate the scientific name of the pest (as listed in Annex II of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 or in any specific measure for a given pest), using one row per pest.
For column 3: Indicate the geographical locations where the survey took place, using preferably the lower NUTS levels available. In case of pests reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all the pests in the group in one row. In case of pests not reported per groups, it is possible to aggregate the data in one row per pest. It is also possible to use as many rows as number of locations reported, if appropriate.
For column 4: Indicate the survey sites, using more than one row per pest only when required by the specific legal pest survey requirements, and indicate the number of sites surveyed. In case of pests reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all pests in the group in one row, and provide the total number of survey sites. In case of pests not reported in groups, it is possible to aggregate the data in one row per pest, and provide the total number of survey sites. When using the option ‘other’, please specify what it is:
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 columns 5, 6 and 7: Optional or when applicable under specific legal pest survey requirements.
For column 5: Indicate which are the risk areas identified based on the biology of the pest(s), presence of host plants, eco-climatic conditions and risk locations.
For column 6: Indicate the total area covered by the target population (ha) in the Member State.
For column 7: Indicate the proportion of the surveyed area of the target population (surveyed area/target population area) in percentage.
For column 8: Indicate plants, fruits, seeds, soil, packaging material, wood, machinery, vehicles, vector, water, other, specifying the specific case. Only when the specific legal pest survey requirement specifies the list of commodities to survey, the results shall be provided using different rows.
For column 9: Indicate the list of plant species/genera that were surveyed. Only when required by the specific legal pest survey requirement, use one row per plant species/genera.
For column 10: Indicate the months of the year when the surveys were carried out. In case of pests reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all pests in the group in one row. In case of pests not reported per groups, it is possible to aggregate the data in one row per pest.
For column 11: Indicate the details of the survey, taking into account the specific legal pests survey requirements of each pest. Indicate with N/A when the information of certain column is not applicable. With the exception of the number of visual examinations, which can be reported by group, all the other data is to be provided by pest unless a justification to report per group is included in column 14 (‘Comments’). When required by the specific legal pest survey requirements, use different rows (e.g. to report different types of tests and their number).
For column 12: Indicate the number of positive results per pest. This number may differ from the number of outbreaks when several positive results are included in one outbreak notification.
For column 13: Indicate the outbreak notifications of the year when the survey took place.
For column 14: Include any other information you consider relevant and, when applicable, information about the results of the surveys of asymptomatic plants with positive findings.

2.2. Instructions on how to fill in the template
Explain the underlying assumptions for the survey design per pest. Summarise and justify:
— |
The target population, epidemiological unit and inspection units |
— |
The detection method and method sensitivity |
— |
The risk factor(s), indicating the risk levels and corresponding relative risks and proportions of host plant population |
For column 1: Indicate the scientific name of the pest (as listed in Annex II of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 or in any specific measure for a given pest).
For column 2: Indicate the geographical locations where the survey took place, using preferably the lower NUTS levels available.
For column 3: Indicate the survey sites, using more than one row per pest when required by the specific legal pest survey requirements. Please, always report the surveys carried out in Authorised places of production, in a different row. When using the option ‘other’, please specify what it is:
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 4: Indicate the months of the year when the surveys were carried out.
For column 5: 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 6: 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 regions, urban areas, forests, rose gardens or farms, or hectares. The choice shall be justified in the underlying assumptions.
For column 7: 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 N/A when the information of certain column is not available.
For column 8: 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 9: ‘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 10: 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 7 ‘Detection methods’.
For column 15: Indicate the number of trapping sites in case this number differs from the number of traps (Column 14) (e.g. the same trap is used in different places).
For column 18: 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, etc.).
For column 19: Indicate the outbreak notifications of the year when the survey took place.
For column 20: Indicate the sensitivity of the survey, as defined in ISPM 31. 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 21: 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.
PART III
Elements of the annual report concerning the summary of the results of the surveys and the update of the pest status of the surveyed pests, as referred to in point (c) of Article 1(2)

1.2. Practical arrangements
For column 2: With the exception of the ‘Group 1 – Authorised places of production’, it is optional to plan the surveys per group of pests. When applicable, indicate the group of pests that will be surveyed together (e.g. citrus pests, deciduous forest pests, coniferous forest pests, cereal pests, potato pests, other (please specify)). In those cases when a pest will be included in several groups, please include in the programme the information for that pest accordingly in each group.
For the ‘Group 1 – Authorised places of production’, indicate the list of pests for which surveys will be carried out, using more than one row when necessary to specify different survey sites of Column 5 ‘Survey sites’. In this group, please provide the data per pest, without aggregating at the group level. Authorised places of production are those places whose operator is authorised by the competent authority to issue plant passports.
For column 3: Indicate the scientific name of the pest (as listed in Annex II of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 or in any specific measure for a given pest), using one row per pest.
For column 4: Indicate the geographical locations where the survey will take place, using preferably the lower NUTS levels available at this stage. In case of pest reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all the pests in the group in one row. In case of pests not reported in groups, it is possible aggregate the data in one row per pest. It is also possible to use as many rows as number of locations reported, if appropriate.
For column 5: Indicate the survey sites, using more than one row per pest when required by the specific legal pest survey requirements, and indicate the number of sites that will be surveyed. In case of pests reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all the pests in the group in one row, and provide the total number of survey sites. In case of pests not reported in groups, it is possible to aggregate the data in one row per pest, and provide the total number of survey sites. When using the option ‘other’, please specify what it is:
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: Optional or when applicable under specific legal pest survey requirements. Indicate the risk areas based on the biology of the pest(s), presence of host plants, eco-climatic conditions and risk locations.
For column 7: Indicate plants, fruits, seeds, soil, packaging material, wood, machinery, vehicles, vector, water, other, specifying the specific case. When the specific legal pest survey requirement specifies the list of commodities to survey, the programme shall include the activities planned per commodity using different rows.
For column 8: Indicate the list of plant species/genera that will be surveyed. When required by the specific pest legal survey requirement, the programme shall include the list of plant species/genera using a different row per each plant species/genus.
For column 9: Indicate the months of the year when the surveys will be carried out. In case of pests reported per group, it is possible to aggregate the data for all pests in the group in one row. In case of pests not reported in groups, it is possible to aggregate the data in one row per pest.
For column 10: Indicate the survey details, taking into account the specific legal requirements of each pest. Indicate with N/A when the information of certain column will not be available. It is only possible to aggregate the data from this column at the same level of the group of pests for the number of visual examinations. When required by the specific legal pest survey requirements, use different rows (e.g. the plan of using different types of tests and their number).

2.2. Practical arrangements
Explain the underlying assumptions for the survey design per pest. Summarise and justify:
— |
The target population, epidemiological unit and inspection units |
— |
The detection method and method sensitivity |
— |
The risk factor(s), indicating the risk levels and corresponding relative risks and proportions of host plant population |
For column 2: Indicate the scientific name of the pest (as listed in Annex II of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 or in any specific measure for a given pest).
For column 3: Indicate the geographical locations where the survey will take place, using preferably the lower NUTS levels available.
For column 4: Indicate the survey sites, using more than one row per pest when required by the specific legal pest survey requirements. Please, always plan the surveys to be carried out in Authorised places of production, in a different row. When using the option ‘other’, please specify what it is:
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 5: Indicate the months of the year when the surveys will be carried out.
For column 6: 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 in column 21 (‘Comments’). Indicate the inspection units surveyed. ‘Inspection unit’ means plants, plant parts, commodities, materials, pest vectors that will be 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 7: Indicate the epidemiological units to be surveyed, indicating its description and unit of measurement. Epidemiological unit is defined as 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 might be defined as epidemiological unit. They could be NUTS regions, urban areas, forests, rose gardens or farms, or hectares. The choice shall be justified in the underlying assumptions.
For column 8: Indicate the methods that will be 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 N/A when the information of certain column is not available. Indicate yes/no in Visual examinations and provide details of the methods for Trapping, Testing and Other measures.
For column 9: 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 10: ‘Method sensitivity’ is defined as 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 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 examination and/or laboratory test used in the identification process).
For column 11: 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 number of activities planned, specifying the type of activity. Indicate with N/A when the information of certain column is not available. The information to be provided in these columns is related to the information included in the column 8 ‘Detection methods planned’.
For column 16: Indicate the number of trapping sites in case this number differs from the number of traps (Column 15) (e.g. the same trap is used in different places).
For column 20: Indicate the sensitivity of the survey, as defined in ISPM 31. 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 21: 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.
