“…In this Appendix, each criterion is presented through several points: - ‘Inclusion in other EU ranking systems’: This section is used to indicate whether other EU pest‐ranking systems use the criterion, even if it is not implemented following the same approach. The ranking systems considered are from:
- —Belgium: Belgian Harmonia+ and Pandora+ (D’hondt et al, 2015) referred to as H+/P+,
- —Finland: Finnish FinnPRIO (Heikkilä et al, 2016) referred to as FinnPRIO,
- —France: Moignot and Reynaud (2013) and Biological Organisms data Retrieval and Ranking system (Tayeh et al, 2021); these systems are referred to as M&R and BiOR² in the manuscript,
- —Norway: ERIN system (Wendell, 2016) referred to as ERIN, even though it is not an EU country,
- —The Netherlands: NVWA scheme (van der Gaag, 2017) referred to as NVWAs,
- —The United Kingdom: the UK Plant Health Risk Register (Baker et al, 2014) referred to as PHRR.
- ‘Description’: this section is used to describe the criterion,
- ‘Need for an automatic approach’: the possibility of an automated approach to be applied in the future is suggested: yes or no,
- ‘Scoring’: this section is used to present the scoring method and the scenario of how missing data are handled is indicated if relevant,
- ‘Data’: this section is used to indicate the data needed (specifying sources whenever possible),
- ‘Example’: various examples are given. Pests may be regulated or new emerging pests; in the case of regulated pests, they were chosen because they facilitate the illustration of the scoring system.
