Revised Guidance for Grouping of Chemicals is now available

27-sept.-2007

The approach described in this guidance document is to consider closely related chemicals as a group, or category, rather than as individual chemicals. In the category approach, not every chemical needs to be tested for every endpoint. Rather, the overall data for that category must prove adequate to support a hazard assessment. The overall data set must allow the estimation of the hazard for the untested endpoints.

Translating Environmental Law into Practice: Progress in Modernising Environmental Regulation and Compliance Assurance in EECCA Countries

05-sept.-2007

Poor environmental compliance is symptomatic of policy failure and implies high costs for society, undermines the rule of law, and distorts the level playing field for businesses.
The current report, developed within the framework of the EAP Task Force’s Regulatory Environmental Programme Implementation Network (REPIN), reviews progress in transposing the Guiding Principles into practice and provides recommendations on future action.
The report argues that EECCA countries need to pursue a better regulation process aimed at ambitious, but also fair, feasible, and clear environmental requirements.

Implementation of a National Finance Strategy for Water Supply and Sanitation Sector in Armenia

Achieving the Millennium Development Goals on water supply and sanitation is therefore a serious challenge in many countries in the region. Armenia, one of the poorest countries in the region, faces many of these challenges as well as serious financial constraints related to affordability issues in households and public budgets.
