2. PPR Panel guidance on the use of probabilistic methodology for
modelling dietary exposure to pesticide residues
 How does the cumulative exposure varies across a population of
interest?
 2 scenarios (MRL setting/authorization and actual exposure)
 Acute and chronic exposure
 Single compound exposure and cumulative exposure
 Basic modelling: pessimistic and optimistic assumptions
 Refined modelling
 2 Public consultations completed
 Adoption by June 2012

3. Next steps in cooperation with Commission & MSs
 EFSA GDs for specific scenarios
 Definition of priorities between a possibly high number of CAGs
 Definition of the desired levels of protection
 Data collection, identification of data gaps
 Deterministic methodology
 Development of a tool accessible to stakeholders
 First CRAs in 2013 3
