A detailed risk analysis report has been prepared for the following suite of
emerging non-native species in Belgium in order to gather scientific information
that may justify a potential restriction of their trade. Conclusions are
relevant for Belgium and neighbouring areas with similar eco-climatic
conditions.
The risk analysis tool that was used to produce those reports follows an
original simplified scheme elaborated on the basis of the recommendations
provided by the international standard for pest risk analysis for organisms of
quarantine concern produced by the Secretariat of the International Plant
Protection Convention.
Those reports have been prepared by Belgian experts from the Belgian
Biodiversity Platform, the Flemish Institute for Nature and Forest, the Royal
Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences, the University of Liège and the Walloon
Research Department for Nature and Agricultural Areas. They can be downloaded
