The inventory of measures provides information on the level of intervention and engagement
in relation to source sectors and pollutants and thus forms in conjunction with the results of
the source inventory a basic prerequisite for the identification of gaps and deficits in relation to
the overall objective of continuous release reduction of POPs in the Stockholm Convention.
For the purpose of this study the project team has developed an Inventory Matrix composed
of two parts:
• An Overview Matrix which contains existing or planned measures to reduce the
releases of unintentionally produced POPs taken at EU and at Member States level as
well as relevant stakeholder propositions,
• A Detailed Matrix which contains a characterising analysis of these measures as far as
data are available.
The matrix approach has the advantage to provide a condensed and structured overview on
all identified measures. In addition it provides an allocation of measures to a number of
categories and to the executing or proposing institutions. Thus it allows a quick overview on
the current state and focus of measures. Moreover horizontal (related to a specific measure)
and vertical (related to a specific country) evaluation can be performed.
The basic overview matrix structure is illustrated in Figure 3-4 below.

A "1" in a matrix field indicates that the measure has been mentioned by the
authority/institution, a “nym” ( = not yet mentioned) indicates that the measure has not been
reported. Measures at EU level that have to be implemented by the Member States are
marked with a “1” for the EU and with a “*” for each Member State.
