(b) Capability of establishment

The pest shall be considered capable of ‘establishment’ in the territory in question, or, if present but not widely distributed, in the part of that territory where it is absent, if all of the following conditions are fulfilled: hosts of the pest and, where relevant, vectors for transmission of the pest are available; the decisive environmental factors are favourable for the pest concerned and, where applicable, its vector, enabling it to survive periods of climatic stress and complete its life cycle; cultivation practices and control measures applied in that territory are favourable; the survival methods, reproductive strategy, genetic adaptability of the pest and its minimum viable population size support its establishment.
