The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the great spruce bark beetle, (Kugelann), (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), for the EU. is a well-defined and distinguishable species, recognised mainly as a pest of spruce ( spp.) and pine ( spp.) in Eurasia. Attacks on other conifers ( spp., , ) are also reported. Supposedly originating from north-eastern Eurasia, has spread westward and is now distributed throughout the EU (22 Member States). It is a quarantine pest listed in Annex IIB of Council Directive 2000/29/EC for Greece, Ireland and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey) as protected zones. Wood, wood products, bark and wood packaging material of the conifers genera listed as hosts are considered as the main pathways for the pest, which is also able to disperse several kilometres by flight. The sib-mating habits of the species allow each single female to start a new colony on her own. The pest's wide current geographic range suggests that it is able to establish anywhere in the EU where its hosts are present. The beetles attack living trees and usually complete their life cycle without killing their host, except under epidemic conditions at the limits of their distribution range, where hundreds of thousands of trees can be killed. Sitka spruce () is particularly susceptible. Biological control using the very specific predatory beetle, is a widespread and efficient option that has been implemented in all areas suffering from outbreaks. It is complemented by sanitary thinning or clear-felling. All criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as potential protected zone quarantine pest were met. The criteria for considering as a potential regulated non-quarantine pest are not met since plants for planting are not the main pathway.
植物健康小组对欧洲联盟的云杉八齿小蠹（Kugelann）（鞘翅目：象甲科，小蠹亚科）进行了有害生物分类。云杉八齿小蠹是一个定义明确且可区分的物种，主要被认为是欧亚大陆云杉（云杉属）和松树（松属）的一种害虫。也有关于其攻击其他针叶树（冷杉属、落叶松属、黄杉属）的报道。该害虫据称原产于欧亚大陆东北部，已向西扩散，目前分布于整个欧盟（22个成员国）。对于希腊、爱尔兰以及英国（北爱尔兰、马恩岛和泽西岛）作为保护区而言，它是理事会指令2000/29/EC附件IIB中所列的检疫性有害生物。被列为寄主的针叶树属的木材、木制品、树皮和木质包装材料被视为该害虫的主要传播途径，该害虫也能够飞行数公里进行扩散。该物种的同胞交配习性使每只雌虫都能独自建立一个新的虫群。该害虫目前广泛的地理分布范围表明，在欧盟其寄主存在的任何地方它都能够定殖。这些甲虫攻击活树，通常在不杀死寄主的情况下完成其生命周期，除非在其分布范围边缘的流行情况下，此时数十万棵树可能会被杀死。西加云杉（Picea sitchensis）尤其易感。使用非常专一的捕食性甲虫进行生物防治是一种广泛且有效的选择，已在所有遭受虫害爆发的地区实施。辅以卫生疏伐或皆伐。欧洲食品安全局评估的所有作为潜在保护区检疫性有害生物考虑的标准均已满足。由于种植用植物不是主要传播途径，因此不符合将其视为潜在管制的非检疫性有害生物的标准。
