Objective
Discussion Document on risk criteria, for use by the European Community as part of the development and application of risk management systems for the natural environment.
The Document will include the evaluation and development of possible risk criterion schemes for unplanned events leading to adverse effects on selected types of eco-systems. By risk criterion scheme we mean a defined, systematic and quantitative framework for determining the significance of risk to a specified component of the environment. The suitability of these schemes for use within the overall framework of managing risks to the environment will be explored by the use of trial cases. These will have two aims : firstly, to indicate the practicality of the proposed criterion schemes and, secondly, to compare the effects of the criteria developed for different eco-systems to ensure that the relative degree of protection afforded by each is sensible.
The Document is to be used as the basis for the initiation of discussions with groups interested in the use of risk management systems encompassing effects on the natural environment. This consultation and discussion process is viewed as a particularly important element of the proposed project. The purpose of the discussions is to stimulate debate so as to strive to promote better environmental standards and to protect the environment.
