More than 65 scientists from 12 European countries and the USA attended and delivered 51 oral and poster presentations. The volume is divided into four parts, which correspond to the organization of the meeting itself: Biological Control and Arthropod Biology, Behaviour and Behavioural Control, Insecticide Resistance and Other Topics. Each main part was ended by a general discussion on the future, constraints and research needs. Taking into account the number of presentations, codling moth (Cydia pomonella) remains the most important pest in pome fruit production. Many presentations focused on the use of mating disruption for its control, stressing the need to better understand how it works, in order to be able to improve its efficacy, and on the extension of its resistance to pesticides. How to measure resistance was also discussed, as many different methods have been developed and are currently used. A standardization of the methodology was deemed necessary in order to better compare results from different countries. Conservation biological control was another important topic. Pome fruit orchards are quite stable environments in time and space, and are surrounded by natural vegetation that can be used as ecological infrastructures. The importance of augmenting and conserving important natural enemies affected by pesticide applications, such as earwigs, was pointed out. The possible use of semiochemicals to control pests other than lepidopterous ones, such as aphids and midges, was also presented and discussed. The manageable size of the audience facilitated personal interactions, lively discussions at the sessions and, mainly, during coffee breaks in front of the posters. A final techno- recreational journey allowed the participants to visit a couple of orchards, just at harvest time, and an olive mill and museum. The scientific committee wishes to thank all contributors to this lively and worthwhile conference.
