16. The MINNI Project Range of application of RAINS_Italy Applications in the international context - The CAFE Program of the EU Commission - The UN-ECE CLRTAP ( within the TFIAM ) - The revision of the NECD of the EU Commission (2001/81/CE) - The UN-ECE CLRTAP ( ICP Materials ) Italian Sub-Center for Stocks at Risk (Cultural Heritage) - The UN-ECE CLRTAP ( provisions art. 8 and revision of the Gothenburg Protocol ) Italian-Polish workshop, Warsaw, 17th of March, 2006

17. The MINNI Project Range of application of RAINS_Italy Applications at national/regional level -The Air Quality Directive (96/62/CE) and daughter dirrectives of the EU Commission (plans & programmes referred to art. 8) - Ex-ante, Ex-post assessment of measures at national/regional level - Sectoral emission analysis at regional level (relative contribution from sectors) - Sectoral emission analysis at national level (e.g. pollution from seagoing ships) - Assessment of non-technical measures Italian-Polish workshop, Warsaw, 17th of March, 2006

18. The MINNI Project Conclusions: The RAINS-Italy Model as integrated assessment model is a valuable support for policy makers The RAINS-Italy Model has natural applications in the frame of EU policy development (TS, CAFE etc.) and UN-CLRTAP The RAINS-Italy Model offers cost benefit analysis as comparison among different reduction strategies The RAINS-Italy Model may provide estimations of the same Health/Environment Indicators used by the EU Commission (e.g. as in theTS, life expectancy reduction and premature deaths) Italian-Polish workshop, Warsaw, 17th of March, 2006
