EFSA report -  16th Scientific Colloquium on emerging risks in plant health: from plant pest interactions to global change


Parma, Iraly
November 2011

On June 9-10 2011 the European Food Safety Authority held its 16th Scientific Colloquium, on “Emerging Risks in Plant Health: From Plant Pest Interactions to Global Change”.

EFSA is broadening its monitoring procedures for identifying emerging risks to all the fields within its mission, including plant health. The plant health sector worldwide is facing an increasing number of outbreaks by both new pests and by pests that were not previously considered to be important. There is a need for a rapid, efficient and robust system to identify emerging plant health risks as early as possible, to assess the risks, and to communicate the risk assessments to risk managers without delay. Key challenges for such a system include the identification and/or prediction of a new pest at an early stage, the production of pest risk assessments under time and data constraints, as well as the need for prioritising criteria for the new risks.

The objective of the colloquium was to provide inputs for the development of EFSA’s methodological framework, including systems and methodologies for data monitoring, data filtering and risk assessment. In attendance were risk assessors, risk managers, scientists and stakeholders from 31 countries, including 19 EU Member States, seven candidate countries, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Norway, and the United States.
