Context  > invasive alien species in Europe  High potential agricultural losses worldwide (weeds 34%, insects 18%, pathogens 16%) 3T

PRATIQUE: Work Packages & Stages in the PRA Scheme Detailed pest risk assessment needed? Establishment Spread Entry Analysis of risk management options Impacts Pest/pathway risk assessment conclusions Risk Communication Stages in the PRA Scheme Initiation  Organised inventory of relevant datasets for PRA (WP1)  Reviews of best PRA practice worldwide (WPs1-5)  Enhanced and validated methods for:  Assessing spread and impacts (WP2)  Ensuring consistency, managing uncertainty, summarising risk and mapping endangered areas (WP3)  Screening species in pathway analysis and developing systems approaches (WP4)  Eradicating, containing and surveying pests (WP5)  User-friendly PRA scheme (WP6)

PRATIQUE: Partners A multidisciplinary task force specialized in pest risk analysis, phytosanitary regulation, invasive alien species, ecology, economics and modelling. Food and Environment Research Agency

Development of more efficient risk analysis techniques for pests and pathogens of phytosanitary concern Aims:  to develop the science and provision of pest risk analysis  to explore the potential for new techniques  to refine existing tools and management approaches => CAPRA Evolution EU 7 th Framework Call Text

PRATIQUE and UPRs of the EU  Importance of developing partnerships under excellence for UPR-based research groups  Strong need of further implementation of PRAs for ‘tropical’ pests  Many major pests in UPRs are threats for the EU and are listed as quarantine organisms (2000/29EC)  Acquisition of data on biology and impact of pests in UPRs can prepare continental Europe to global changes (climate change…)  Excellence in agricultural research and biodiversity management in UPRs as a support of local agriculture  Operational follow-up of Pratique  EFSA ‘Primaphacie’: leading the Xanthomonas citri pv. citri case study  EFSA ‘citrus canker’ EWG  Expertise for EPPO
