Efforts to manage the spread of the grapevine disease Flavescence dorée have been highlighted through both simulation and official alerts in Europe.

In Moldova, the National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) collaborated with Czech agricultural experts to conduct a simulation exercise. This training focused on improving phytosanitary control, rapid intervention, and eradication measures to protect the viticulture sector from the economic threat posed by the disease.

In Croatia, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries issued an urgent alert for all grapevine owners to inspect vines for symptoms. The ministry mandated phytosanitary measures, including the destruction of infected vines and the control of the American grapevine moth, which acts as the primary vector for the disease.
