The 6/04 standard of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO) on the safe use of biological control is a decision-support scheme (DSS) for the import and release of biological control agents in Europe. It was recently developed by the Joint EPPO/International Organisation of Biological Control (IOBC) Panel on Biological Control Agents. The DSS can be used to assess the potential environmental impacts of biological control agents. It is valid for different types of biological control: classical and augmentative biological control of invertebrates, pathogens and weeds. However, the DSS is not yet widely implemented in Europe and, during preliminary trials, it was found that its broad range of usages could lead to some confusion or misunderstandings, as well as requiring unnecessary information in some cases. Thus, the scheme was modified to specifically assess classical biological control against plant pests, i.e. the introduction of exotic natural enemies of plant pests for establishment and long-term control. The new version of the scheme was then tested on two parasitoids that are presently being released in Europe, the figitid Ganaspis cf. brasiliensis against the spotted wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii and the mymarid Cleruchoides noackae against the Eucalyptus bronze bug Thaumastocoris peregrinus. Both parasitoids were successfully assessed with the new version of the DSS. No major issues were encountered during the assessments and most questions were answered with low levels of uncertainty. Both assessments concluded that the parasitoids were safe to release in the impact assessment areas, with positive impacts exceeding negative impacts. Suggestions for potential improvements are provided.

使用 Ganaspis cf. 测试 EPPO 决策支持方案的修改版本，以释放经典的植物害虫生物防治剂。brasiliensis 和 Cleruchoides noackae 作为案例研究

 欧洲和地中海植物保护组织（EPPO）关于生物防治安全使用的6/04标准是针对欧洲生物防治剂进口和释放的决策支持计划（DSS）。它最近由 EPPO/国际生物控制组织 (IOBC) 生物控制剂联合小组开发。DSS 可用于评估生物防治剂的潜在环境影响。它适用于不同类型的生物防治：无脊椎动物、病原体和杂草的经典和增强生物防治。然而，DSS在欧洲尚未广泛实施，在初步试验中发现其广泛的用途可能会导致一些混乱或误解，并且在某些情况下需要不必要的信息。因此，该计划经过修改，专门评估针对植物害虫的经典生物防治，即引入植物害虫的外来天敌进行定植和长期防治。然后，该方案的新版本在目前在欧洲发布的两种寄生蜂（figitid Ganaspis cf.）上进行了测试。brasiliensis 对抗斑翅果蝇 Drosophila suzukii，以及 mymarid Cleruchoides noackae 对抗桉树青铜虫 Thaumastocoris peregrinus。使用新版本的 DSS 成功评估了两种寄生蜂。评估期间没有遇到重大问题，大多数问题的答案都具有较低的不确定性。两项评估的结论是，寄生蜂在影响评估区域内释放是安全的，其积极影响超过了消极影响。
