USEFUL DATASETS FOR PRA

Introduction

The lack of data is a major challenge in pest risk analysis (PRA) worldwide. In order to identify appropriate sources of information, several projects have been launched with the objective of assembling datasets that contain information useful for pest risk analysts. The datasets presented in this section mainly result from two projects:

In both project an inventory of the key national, European and global datasets required for the production of PRAs relevant to the whole Europe has been made. The inventories made by the two projects have been exchanged.  Datasets gathered by both projects are consequently included in the dataset explorer.
The datasets included in the dataset explorer are grouped as follows

Warning: it should be noted that both projects identified gaps in the information sources (e.g. trade data, economic data, data on phytosanitary measures) so the assessor should not expect to find all necessary information for performing a PRA in these datasets.

Once you are in one group of datasets, you can select the datasets based on the quality criteria you want as well as on the type of information you are looking for (e.g. in the dataset  group 1 taxonomy, environmental, official Phytosanitary measures).

Please note that you also can propose new datasets in the different categories. (click on “propose”)
