EFSA performs Environmental Risk Assessments ("ERA")
as part of its evaluations of "regulated
products"—pesticides, genetically modified organisms,
and additives in food and animal feed, as well as of invasive alien
species that are harmful to plant health. The aim of the current
documents is to harmonize the way in which EFSA approaches ERA. The
opinions identify three areas in particular
where EFSA should establish common approaches: (i) the
specification of biodiversity-related protection goals at the start
of the assessment, (ii) coverage of endangered species, and (iii)
the potential for ecological recovery following damage. Risk
assessors and risk managers will now discuss how to make best use
of these common frameworks.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
