At the ICP-BR Braunschweig meeting in 1996 it was decided that the working group on persistence testing (started in 1993) would investigate the need and perspective for a standard procedure for laboratory persistence testing. Such a procedure is currently required by the EPPO/Council of Europe risk assessment scheme for honey bees (1993) and consequently also by the Uniform Principles of the EU (Harmonisation Directive 91/414/EEC). Recently Dr. Harold Gough of Zeneca reported his extensive findings for developing a suitable laboratory test to the working group. Based on his report, the group concluded that a practicable and reliable test method is still remote. At the same time, for several reasons, it is expected that an adequate persistence testing method would contribute little to the current risk assessment scheme. Therefore, it is the advice of the subgroup that the residual testing step should be skipped from the honey bee risk assessment scheme, and that no further effort be spent to developing and applying a persistence testing methodology
