  1. SC1 = scenario 1 (no establishment), SC1 INS = scenario 1 with IMS introduction followed by intensive survey (INS), SC2 = scenario 2 (locally established, < 25 km2), SC3 = scenario 3 (widely established, > 25 km2)
  2. aMonitoring activities at EU in 2017 were part of the monitoring at and around RA
  3. bAlthough the IMS is locally (scenario 2) or widely (scenario 3) established, a scenario 1 monitoring was implemented. At MM no spread was detected outside the 6-km buffer zone and control measures were implemented at the hotspot in 2019. At HA no spread was detected outside the used tyre import company in 2017 and in 2020 control measures were ongoing. SP belonged to the scenario 2 monitoring of HA
  4. cMonitoring activities were stopped in June 2018
