Regional Workshop on Succesful Experiences implementing the Stockholm Convention and its synergies with the Basel and Rotterdam

On April 7 and 8, the CP/RAC organized a Regional Workshop on the implementation of the Stockholm Convention in Mediterranean countries. This meeting helped to share the experiences of the different countries when implementing the guidelines established by the Convention and in developing the National Implementation Plans.

Near 50 participants attended at the seminar which introduced and debated subject matters such as the status of the implementation of the convention in the Mediterranean basin, the different experiences in eliminating Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), existing collaborations and synergies with the Rotterdam and Basel conventions and, finally, lines to follow in the future.
