Abstract

The quarantine organism Citrus Longhorned Beetle (Anoplophora chinensis, Forster) is regulated in the Commission Decision 2008/840/EC since 2008. An essential element of the Decision is a monitoring concerning the possible occurrence which has to be carried out yearly in the EU-member states. Currently there is only one confirmed established outbreak which is located in Italy. Small outbreaks in France and in The Netherlands have been eradicated. The paper gives an overview on the occurrence and findings of A. chinensis in the EU as well as on the results of the monitoring carried out since 2008.
