Summary
The focus of this scope is to advance ERA methodologies in the area of terrestrial ecotoxicology by collecting and generating data to further improve the current knowledge on the exposure of non-target organisms in agro-ecosystems and to link the exposure with the effects.
Detailed Call Description
With this call EFSA aims to address different needs in the area of the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of Plant Protection Products (PPP).
In particular the scope is to characterise the hazards to non-target organisms at different level of biological organisation; to collect and evaluate existing effect models. The findings of these activities will enable the integration of landscape and ecology features in the regulatory risk assessment methodologies according to the principles of the system-based approach and will allow to identify innovative tools for assessing the effects at higher level of biological organisation.
