` Critical load` means a quantitative estimate of the exposure to one or more pollutants below which significant harmful effects on specified sensitive elements of the environment do not occur according to present knowledge;

The purpose of the review is to evaluate whether the chemical is likely, as a result of its long-range environmental transport, to lead to significant adverse human health and/or environmental effects, such that global action is warranted.

When a Party is considering proposed environmental measures, it should evaluate possible adverse effects on the exercise of rights contained in this Agreement, and, if such measures are adopted, it should take appropriate steps to mitigate any such adverse effects.

Measures based on risk assessment shall be imposed to the extent necessary to prevent adverse effects of the living modified organism on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, within the territory of the Party of import.

The objective of risk assessment, under this Protocol, is to identify and evaluate the potential adverse effects of living modified organisms on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in the likely potential receiving environment, taking also into account risks to human health.

Such risk assessments shall be based, at a minimum, on information provided in accordance with Article 8 and other available scientific evidence in order to identify and evaluate the possible adverse effects of living modified organisms on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health.

The presence of such risks shall be assessed through risk-assessment procedures taking into account the characteristic and function of the soil, the type and concentration of the harmful substances, preparations, organisms or micro-organisms, their risk and the possibility of their dispersion.

Moreover, if some metabolites are suspected for endocrine disrupting activity, it is recommended to determine if these have potential to result in adverse affects as soon as validated testing schemes to assess such adverse effects are available.

Following the adoption of the ABR by the DSB the interested parties in this proceeding, i.e. the Brazilian exporting producer and the Community industry ("CI"), received disclosure of the facts and considerations on the dumping calculation and the injury factors mentioned under recital 3(ii).

The Government of the Kingdom of Spain declares that it shall conduct a pest risk assessment on fresh citrus fruit and palms before 1 January 1992, which, if it reveals a risk of harmful organisms being introduced or propagated, may, where appropriate, justify the derogation provided for in Article 121(2) of the 1990 Convention after the entry into force of the said Agreement on the Accession of the Kingdom of Spain.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic declares that it shall conduct a pest risk assessment on fresh citrus fruit before 1 January 1992, which, if it reveals a risk of harmful organisms being introduced or propagated, may, where appropriate, justify the derogation provided for in Article 121(2) of the 1990 Convention after the entry into force of the said Agreement on the Accession of the Portuguese Republic.

ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR HARMFUL EFFECTS

Assessment of possibility of harmful effects occurring

The estimation of the severity of the harmful effects is performed independently of the possibility of the harmful effect occurring.

an evaluation of the consequences should these adverse effects be realized;

As a consequence, injurious dumping could, if at all, only be assessed on a regional basis.

Evaluation of the emission of pollutants of vehicles equipped with replacement catalytic converters

This step is to estimate how likely it is that adverse effects will actually occur.

Harmful effects may be assessed by means of the dose-effect relations referred to in Annex III.

These ozone-depleting potentials are estimates based on existing knowledge and will be reviewed and revised periodically.

In such cases, the risk associated with that particular adverse effect could be assessed as 'negligible' or insignificant.

Exposure is, in most cases, of primary importance to risk assessment as it will often determine whether a harmful effect could occur.

"assessment" shall mean any method used to calculate, predict, estimate or measure the value of a noise indicator or the related harmful effects;

action against the olive fly and possibly other harmful organisms, including control, warning and evaluation arrangements;

To assess the possible harmful effects of a food additive or derivatives thereof, it must be subjected to appropriate toxicological testing and evaluation.

identify the occurrence of adverse effects of the GMO or its use on human health or the environment which were not anticipated in the environmental risk assessment.

a statement or estimate of the quantities, concentrations and likely conditions of harmful substances discharged or likely to be discharged into the sea;

Furthermore, when assessing the risk, account shall be taken of all other cases of major exposure, such as those with harmful effects on the skin.

an estimation of the overall risk posed by the living modified organism based on the evaluation of the likelihood and consequences of the identified adverse effects being realized;

In addition, pathogens and toxins thereof which are to be sought according to the risk evaluation, must not be present in quantities such as to affect the health of consumers.

confirm that any assumptions regarding the occurrence and impact of potential adverse effects of the GMO or its use in the environmental risk assessment are correct, and

Seek to identify and record any indirect, delayed and/or cumulative adverse effects that have not been anticipated in the risk assessment,

the various stages of manufacture (including purification procedures) so that an assessment can be made of the reproducibility of the manufacturing procedure and of the risks of adverse effects on the finished products, such as microbiological contamination,

In order to fulfil the requirements of relevant parts of this Convention the following procedure shall be used by the Contracting Parties in identifying and evaluating harmful substances, as defined in Article 2 (7).

Apart from the likelihood that the potential harmful characteristics will occur (see Chapter 4. 2. 3, step 3), evaluating the magnitude of the consequences is an important part of risk assessment.

As concerns any regional assessment of injurious dumping, it should be noted that not all the conditions set out in this respect in Article 4(1 )(b) of the basic Regulation were met.

The risk assessment process requires the identification of any potentially harmful properties of the GMM as a result of the genetic modification or any alteration of the recipient organisms' existing properties.

Points 3 to 5 of Annex III indicate that the first stage of the risk assessment process for a GMM is to identify the potential harmful properties of the GMM, to determine an initial classification for the GMM.

an evaluation of the likelihood of these adverse effects being realized, taking into account the level and kind of exposure of the likely potential receiving environment to the living modified organism;

A is more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions, but the capacity to meet financial commitments is still strong.

For each adverse effect identified, the relative likelihood of the consequence can probably not be assessed quantitatively, but it can be expressed in terms of 'high', 'moderate', 'low' or 'negligible'.

Early detection of any adverse effects attributable to a GMO will allow for more rapid reassessment and implementation of measures to reduce any consequences to the environment.

The purpose of this analysis is not to do an end-point to end-point analysis but rather to assess the developments within the entire period considered in order to determine whether the situation of the Community industry in the IP can be considered as injurious.

make the necessary assessments of the nature and extent of the casualty or emergency or, as the case may be, of the type and approximate quantity of oil or other harmful substances and the direction and speed of drift of the spillage:

Assessment of possibility of harmful effects occurring by consideration of exposure (both human and environmental) taking into account the nature and scale of the work, with containment measures appropriate to the initial class allocated.

Point 7(i) of Annex III requires that the characteristics of the environment likely to be exposed and the severity of the effect be taken into account when assessing the possibility of harmful effects occurring and their severity.
