(apple/pear) 7 MS (EE, FR, IE, IT, LT, SI, SK) have indicated that the measures taken under the current CPHR are
considered to have been of economic (and environmental) benefit, both in commercial sector and for
public/private green and biodiversity. In the commercial fruit production, in 5/7 MS, an area of 176,000 ha of
susceptible fruit tree species is estimated to be protected by the current measures. (Details in the case study

15 MS (BE, CZ, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, IE, LT, LV, NL, SE, SI, SK, UK) have indicated that the measures taken
under the current CPHR are considered to have been of economic (and environmental) benefit both in the
commercial sector and for public/private green. Although a total overview of the susceptible area and number of
nurseries could not be provided (few MS provided data), in 2 MS (CZ, SI) the total susceptible area is 0.8
million ha of deciduous trees, and in 2 other MS (FR, ES), over 2,600 susceptible nurseries are thus protected.
