| Abstract | The LEMTOX workshop had the aim to bring together experts from industry, academia and regulatory authorities to discuss (1) the benefits of ecological models (EMs) for pesticide risk assessment, (2) to identify issues that so far have prevented a wider use of EMs in the regulatory context, and (3) to agree on the next steps to be taken to establish EMs as a more widely used tool for or pesticide risk assessment. During the workshop, in a series of keynote lectures the perspectives of industry, academia and regulatory authorities were summarized, and three example models were presented. In breakout group and plenary discussions, the three topics of the workshop were discussed. There was general consensus that EMs have a high potential, or might even be the only way, to achieve risk assessments that are more ecologically relevant. A major challenge in establishing EMs as a common tool is the lack of a guidance document defining Good Modelling Practice. The next steps to be taken in order to establish EMs in pesticide registration are to build a core group of stakeholders to organize a follow-up workshop where a draft guidance document on Good Modelling Practice is produced, and to perform carefully selected case studies that follow the guidance document and which clearly demonstrate the added value of risk assessments that are supported by ecological models. |
