(17) It is necessary to detect in a timely manner the presence of certain pests. Surveys of such presence carried out by Member States are essential to ensure the immediate eradication of outbreaks of those pests. The surveys carried out by individual Member States are essential to protecting the territory of all other Member States. The Union may contribute to the financing of those surveys in general, on condition that their scope includes at least one of the two critical categories of pests, namely the pests which are not known to occur in the Union and the pests which are subject to Union emergency measures.
