1. Official hand over procedure

2. It can take 1-5 years or more from inventory to clean up
Step 10
It can take 1-5 years or more from inventory to clean up
Step 1
Any management instruments to keep the inventory updated?
Intermediate actions for urgent stores?

3. ?????????? C. Clean-up: B. What to do in the meantine with?:
How good are the data?
B. What to do in the meantine with?:
Open Stores
Demolished stores
Pesticides disappeared/added
Actualize store info
??????????
A. Inventory:
FAO Standard format & good quality
High priority/emerging sites

4. A. Inventory
Quality
Format: Recommend to use FAO standard inventory method excellent experiences made
Standard forms, detailed
Possible FAO services with Data base management

5. FAO Pesticide Stock Management System in Central and Eastern Europe
FAO can work through Government or NGO or any institution that is non-profit or not make commercial use of the FAO product
Countries who use the system must recognise that their information will enter the public domain
FAO has no finances to support implementation of PSMS in Eastern and Central Europe. Countries, institutions or NGOs have to cover cost of product and technical support of FAO if needed. Without technical assistance from FAO the setup cost of PSMS for one country is around USD
If interested the request should be made to

6. Problems with inventory
Til 2003/2004 hardly any country had an inventory
If inventory available it was only on paper based on Plant Protection Services data
Nobody went into the field
Last years Stockholm Convention gave budget for POPs inventory, but also PCBs and Dioxins

7. Problems with inventory
Often in NIP no or only few field visits made: lack of real field data
When work on inventory: often fast action, no format, half job only no use
So in any case after completion of NIP in following phase full detailed inventory is needed

8. Vital parts in inventory missing
Empty containers often up tp 10% of total
Spraying and other equipments etc
Contaminated building materials, walls, floors etc
Polluted soils around stores
Buried pesticides around store

9. Teams are only looking for POPs and not for other obsolete pesticides

10. Can you tell me where the POPs are?

11. Searching for POPs only?
You have to make inventory of all obsolete pesticides POPs or no POPs
It is only a question of financial contribution for the clean up how many POPs there are
Would you in a storage take the POPs out and leave the rest?

12. Information on the store and the environment Information on pesticides
FAO format includes Risk Analysis
Form A2
Form A1
Form A3
Information on the store and the environment
Information on pesticides
Calcul of FP
Calcul of FE

14. Now decision making tool for actions .......till clean-up
2. What to do in the meantine with?:
High priority/emerging sites
Open Stores
Demolished stores
Pesticides disappeared/added
Actualize store info

15. High priority/emerging sites
Leaking sites with direct danger like people living on or around site:
need for stabilisation action or repacking and temporary storage at limited number of stores  eliminate direct risk

16. Centralized storage Moldova

17. Simple things during and after inventory can be done
Placement of big signs on danger and prohibition of entering!!!!!!
Sometimes even fencing (made local materials and with help of by local population!!!!)
Repair doors or install doors with padlocks
Assign local guards
Information for + meetings with inhabitants and specifically schools

18. How do we keep good data up to date?
How well are you organised in each region in order to steer things.
How many local inspectors/police/other stakeholders are involved who could contribute to a number of actions?
Can we get population and NGO’s involved at local level?

19. Involvement of local population and NGO’s in solution

21. Facts?
In one country a contractor had to repackage 1400 tons based on 2 year old inventory which turned out to be 2500 tons
Inventory only based on ”government data” but no input of population (they know a lot!!!)
Just before clean-up at night tons and tons of obsolete pesticides were dumped!!!
Over the years amounts turn out to be much bigger: Bulgaria 4500 t now t
Ukraine: 2003: t now t
Both governments have not listed obsolete pesticides as highest priority

22. Why so much time in between ??????????
C. Clean-up:
How good are the data?
B. What to do in the meantine with?:
Open Stores
Demolished stores
Pesticides disappeared/added
Actualize store info
Why so much time in between ??????????
A. Inventory:
FAO Standard format & good quality
High priority/emerging sites

23. Why so much time in between ???
Political prioritization of POPs is lacking
Prioritization of pesticides problem in POPS Convention is very good, but
If the pesticides POPs are not prioritized politically and environment is not a priority, you will not find co-sponsors
EU will never support programmes if you have not prioritized them at national level first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
