Member States shall carry out risk-based surveys, over specific periods of time, checking at least for: the presence of any Union quarantine pest; and signs or symptoms of any pest subject to the measures referred to in Article 29 or to measures adopted pursuant to Article 30(1). Those surveys shall take place in all areas where the pest concerned was not known to be present. Those surveys shall not be required to be carried out for pests for which it is unequivocally concluded that they cannot become established or spread in the Member State concerned due to its ecoclimatic conditions or to the absence of the host species.
