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.
