  - Cultivation guidelines to restrict the virus
  - Recommendations for the implementation of an Early warning system, assessing the risk of occurrence of unknown PPV variants in EU and new PPV outbreak
  - Procedures for a risk management system for developing strategies to manage new PPV outbreak or PPV variants.
