  1. WFD Weeds Programme European Biocontrol Initiative realization Project Executive: Sean Murphy Senior Users: Janny Vos Senior Suppliers: Carol Ellison, Ulrich Kuhlmann, Ravi Khetarpal Project Manager: Dick Shaw Date:13.01.2011 PID Version: October 2009

  2. Part A – Background (1)Executive Summary & Objectives Executive Summary The assessment and use of biological control techniques to address key invasive weeds in or near water. • Project Objectives • Target at least 3 weeds for Defra and any EU contributors • Carry out overseas surveys with collaborators • identify and prioritise natural enemies (NE) for biocontrol • Establish funded collaborations in area of origin • Establish cultures of NEs and test plants • Host range test NEs • Produce project report • Develop Phase 3 of project i.e dossier submission and release planning • Manage publicity outputs

  3. Part A – Background (2)Key Stakeholders and Beneficiaries • Stakeholders and Beneficiaries:- • Donor(s): Defra through the Environment Agency + any EU sponsor • End-user(s): EA, River Trusts, British Waterways etc • Partner(s): USDA South American Biocontrol Laboratory, DEEDI Australia, NBPGR India, University of Tasmania • CABI Centres/Departments: E-UK with involvement of India and E-CH

  4. Part B – Implementation (1)Proposed Organisation Structure • Corporate Management: PMG • Project Board:- • Project Executive: Sean Murphy • Senior Users: Janny Vos • Senior Suppliers: Carol Ellison, Ulrich Kuhlmann, Ravi Khetarpal • Project Assurance: Janny Vos • CABI Budget-holder – Sean MurphyNote that, if not the Project Executive, the CABI Budget-holder must have written confirmation from the Project Executive, and the Project Manager if required by Project Executive, prior to authorising payment. • Project Manager: Dick Shaw • Team Managers: Rob Tanner, Djami Djeddour, Sonal Varia, Marion Seier (all to become project managers once split into individual projects)

  9. Part B – Implementation (6)Key Constraints & Assumptions • Constraints • Export and Access and Benefit Sharing • Quarantine space –should be adequate • suitable personnel available in particular technical support (recruitment required) • biological – there may be no suitable NEs • Assumptions • Collaborators persist and succeed in continued export • biological challenges can be overcome • The status of the weeds and the interests of the donor don’t change • Legislation pathway straightforward • A 4 year contract can be secured • No procurement problems arise with donor re sole tender
