1 MSC-E contribution concerning heavy metals
and POPs to the EMEP assessment report Ilia Ilyin, S. Dutchak, V. Shatalov, EMEP/MSC-E Workshop on the EMEP assessment report under the Task Force on Measurements and Modelling Vienna, Austria, 4-6 November 2002 EMEP/ Meteorological Synthesizing Centre - East

22 Some remaining questions concerning the report
- What volume of the report is planned? - How many pages are reserved for HMs and POPs chapter? - Will country-oriented information from MSC-E be included into national/regional assessments? - Who is responsible for section 3.4 (present pollution in relation to environmental targets)?
