Background
The EMEP monitoring strategy 2004-2009. Background document with justification and specification of the EMEP monitoring programme, 2004-2009.
Ed. by Kjetil Tørseth and Øystein Hov: (pdf)
This background document was presented at the 27th session of the EMEP Steering Body (September 8-10, 2003) providing an introduction to the revision process as well as in depth
discussions of the monitoring requirements in relation to the objectives. The strategy was welcomed by the Steering Body and it was further agreed that it covered all the major issues needed for
future monitoring. The level approach was approved, but several Parties expressed concerns about the costs associated with implementing the mandatory requirements proposed. T
he meeting thus concluded that the draft strategy should be used as a basis for further discussions with the Parties on the details of the level-by-level approach, and the TFMM is
expected to produce a final strategy for the next session of the Steering Body.
