Only competent organisations, based on designations by Member States, are eligible to apply to the call.

The purpose of this call is to provide validated protocols to support the MSs in the estimation of the survey parameters required for designing robust pest surveys that are statistically sound and risk based.

These protocols should be developed for estimating (i) the sensitivity of the methods of detection, (ii) the relative risk linked to risk factors that increase the probability of infection of a plant, and (iii) the maximum prevalence that could be successfully eradicated in defined scenarios.
