National Implementation Plan of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Stockholm Convention

In the National Implementation Plan, Germany describes the measures taken to implement the obligations under the Stockholm Convention. These include both the legal measures implementing these obligations into national and European law and measures to reduce or eliminate releases of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from intentional and unintentional production and use as well as from stockpiles and wastes. Also, measures for public information, awareness developing and education as well as research, development and monitoring are included. The National Implementation Plan is reviewed periodically.
