Prevention and early detection of the presence of pests is extremely important for timely and effective eradication. Member States should therefore carry out surveys for the presence of Union quarantine pests in the areas where those pests were not known to be present. In view of the number of Union quarantine pests and the time and resources required to carry out those surveys, Member States should establish multiannual survey programmes.
