What is “bridging” under RC in the context of criterion Annex II (b) (iii)?
“Bridging” is done when the notifying Party has used a risk evaluation from another country or international body as the basis for its national decision.
At its third meeting, the Conference of the Parties agreed that, in order to satisfy criterion (b) (iii) of Annex II to the Rotterdam Convention, bridging information providing evidence of the prevailing conditions in the notifying country would have to be submitted when using risk evaluations from other countries or international bodies.
Available guidance on bridging of pesticide risk assessments
The General Guidance on Bridging of Pesticide Risk Assessments is a chapter of the FAO Pesticide Registration Toolkit. It is intended to be a decision support guidance for pesticide regulatory authorities in developing countries and should be used in the context of the FAO Pesticide Registration Toolkit. The current version will be further evolved in the light of experience gained in the future.
