Annex A – PROMETHEUS Protocol: supporting the pest risk assessment of Eotetranychus lewisi for the EU territory

The report is a supporting document of the pest risk assessment of Eotetranychus lewisi for the EU territory. This Annex A to the pest risk assessment of E. lewisi for the EU territory presents the preparatory work that was performed following the guiding principles and the stochastic model in a quantitative approach in the context of the EFSA risk assessment framework currently under development for Plant Health. Moreover, this pest risk assessment is performed in accordance to the principles described in the EFSA PROMETHEUS (PROmoting METHods for Evidence Use in Scientific assessments) project where recommendations are provided both for the systematic and reasoned search of the evidence required by the risk assessors and the use of such evidence in the risk assessment. PROMETHEUS is an organisational development project aiming to further improve the methods for "evidence use" (collecting, appraising and integrating data and evidence) in EFSA's scientific assessments and to increase their consistency.contact email: teamplh@efsa.europa.e
