2. 2.2.1.2The ability of micro-organisms to adapt to the environment must be evaluated. In particular, Member States must take account of the following principles:
3. 2.2.1.3The mode of action of the micro-organism should be evaluated in as much detail as appropriate. The possible role of metabolites/toxins for the mode of action should be evaluated and when identified, the minimal effective concentration for each active metabolite/toxin should be established. Information on mode of action can be a very valuable tool in identifying potential risks. Aspects to be considered in the evaluation, are:
4. 2.2.1.4In order to evaluate possible effects on non-target organisms, information on the micro-organism's host specificity must be evaluated, taking into account the characteristics and properties described in (a) and (b).
