This section of the report focuses on the outcomes of the risk assessment steps in accordance with Annex III of the Protocol and as described in Module 3.
While information related to the description of the LMO and its intended use may be obtained in part from the LMO application, the bulk of information to be presented in this section of the report is obtained through the risk assessment process for the specific case at hand.
Example – Risk communication
Risk communication is the interactive exchange of information and opinions among assessors, risk managers, consumers, industry, the academic community and other interested parties throughout the risk analysis process. The information exchange concerns risk related factors and risk perceptions, including the explanation of risk assessment findings and the basis of risk management decisions. It is vitally important that risk communication with the public comes from credible and trusted sources.
