As previously described in step 5, several considerations are taken into account in the assessment of information for this phase of the risk assessment and the logic and reasoning behind each recommendation is to be presented in as a precise and accurate manner as possible.

The risk assessment report may include, for instance:
  1. How each identified strategy is expected to contribute to minimizing the likelihood or consequence of potential adverse effects (e.g. by reducing the exposure to the LMO or the consequences of the potential harm);
  2. Details of the methodology for each identified risk management or monitoring strategy including, for instance, the frequency, locations and methods of sampling, as well as methods of analysis, including laboratory testing when appropriate;
  3. Any uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such management or monitoring strategy;
  4. An indication as to whether and how different management strategies can be combined to further minimize uncertainty or identified risks; and
  5. Considerations on unintentional introduction into the environment and emergency measures as appropriate (see Article 17).
