BiPRO
At Member States level, the compilation of measures is largely based on the Member States´
responses to a questionnaire developed for information collection (see chapter 3).
The questionnaire was restricted to a small number (7-9) of questions on central issues.
Questions focussed on inventory data for unintentionally produced POPs, POP related
legislation, other environmental legislation for release reduction, state of the NIP, measures in
place or planned and national priorities. Stakeholder were asked to provide their specific point
of view and invited to comment on the state of legislation and measures in the field of POP
release reduction.
The questionnaire is documented in the annex to this report
NIPs and draft NIPs have been used as another important information source.
A systematic investigation of national legislation on POPs was not intended and would not
have been possible in the scope this study.
In particular it should be mentioned that the inventory matrixes can form a basis or support for
− the Community Implementation Plan
− MS in the elaboration / optimisation of their NIPs
− information exchange on completeness and effectiveness of measures
− identification of gaps
− the assessment of already established/planned measures
− the elaboration of potential additional measures.
For the assessment of identified measures and the ranking and prioritisation of measures
additional information is required. This relates to the state of realisation, the reduction
potential or knowledge gain achieved, administrative and socio-economic impacts and
timeframe.
Consequently in a second step, the identified measures are completed by information on
• Status/Way of implementation,
• Intended effect,
• Concerned sectors/Material flow,
• Control,
• Experiences/ results,
• Costs,
• Time frame.
as far as data are available.
