1. INTRODUCTION<br />

COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />

Invitations were sent out to three research organisations and universities in the Netherlands<br />

to ask for their contributions to this state of the art document. All three of them<br />

replied and this document is based on those responses including the contribution from<br />

SHR.<br />

This document is structured to offer contact information for those participants and an<br />

introduction to their principal interests and research expertise within the scope of the<br />

COST Action E22. The second section within this report gives more detail on specific<br />

activities related to the three working groups within the COST Action E22 (Annex 2).<br />

Finally the report summarises and concludes on the state of the art in the Netherlands.<br />
