Assessment studies:
For each of the 12 EECCA countries a Country report summarizes the main outcomes of the assessment of the existing legal framework for waste management and the main conclusions and recommendations. The basic data, as collected during the assessment on national level of the legal framework and the volumes of obsolete pesticides, POPs and other hazardous wastes, are presented in a Working Document per country. These documents also contain the references to the sources of information used for these assessments.
