Abstract

The tasks to be carried out under this project consist on the development, in close collaboration with EFSA, of draft opinions on commodity risk assessments and/or pest categorizations.

Goals

The activities will include:
1. Compiling, preparing and revising pest-lists for the regulated genera in Lot 1. In particular the organization will focus at first on Prunus spp. or other genera and species prioritized.
2. Assessment of geographical distribution of pests of the compiled pest-lists
3. Pre-drafting of pest-sheets
4. Pre-drafting of two pest categorizations (for either a virus, an insect or a fungus)
5. Any other activity related to the assessment of High Risk Plant dossiers under evaluation by EFSA

Start date of activity
