# The Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Scotland) Regulations 2002, Paragraph 15: Step 6: Overall risk evaluation and conclusions


(1) A qualitative and, where possible, quantitative evaluation of the overall risk of the genetically modified organism must be made taking into account the results of the risk characterisation, the proposed risk management strategies and the associated levels of uncertainty.
(2) The overall risk evaluation must include, where applicable, the risk management strategies proposed for each identified risk.
(3) The overall risk evaluation and conclusions must also propose specific requirements for the monitoring plan of the genetically modified organism and, where appropriate, the monitoring of the efficacy of the proposed risk management measures.
(4) For applications to which Part 3 of these Regulations applies, the overall risk evaluation must also include an explanation of the assumptions made during the environmental risk assessment and of the nature and magnitude of uncertainties associated with the risks, and a justification of the risk management measures proposed.
