Recital 4
(4) Plant health is very important for plant production, public and private green, natural ecosystems, ecosystem services and biodiversity in the Union. Plant health is threatened by species injurious to plants and plant products, hereinafter 'pests'., which now present a greater risk of being introduced into European territory owing to globalisation of trade and climate change; To fight that threat, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the determination of the phytosanitary risks posed by those pests and the reduction of those risks to an acceptable level.
