Work Package 6 - Reporting probabilistic approaches

Objective: Develop proposals for harmonised approaches for reporting probabilistic assessments so as to facilitate peer review.

This work package is reviewing relevant existing guidance on the reporting of probabilistic pesticide assessments and developing a set of key principles, suitable for use in the EU regulatory context. These will be designed to maximise clarity and ensure probabilistic assessments are open to full critical evaluation both in official peer review and by other interested parties. The work package is building on previous work towards a harmonised terminology for risk assessment, e.g. by the European Commission's Scientific Steering Committee, and drawing on existing publications on how to report Monte Carlo studies.
