InfoMAP System - prova tutto-separato-pagine

The Barcelona Convention Reporting System (BCRS) is the infoMAP module that allows Contracting Parties to report under Article 26 of the amended Barcelona Convention and several articles of different MAP protocols. The main objective of the system is to collect, store, manage and process compliance reporting data (textual and numerical) related to the implementation of the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols. The MAP Secretariat has legal responsibility for the BCRS, while INFO/RAC is responsible for its operation and development. The data flow within Data Centre is subdivided in seven mandatory Protocols that Contracting Parties have to report:

• Dumping Protocol;
• Land-Based Sources (LBS) Protocol;
• SPA Protocol;
• Prevention and Emergency Protocol;
• Offshore Protocol;
• Hazardous Wastes Protocol;
• ICZM Protocol.

BCRS Reporting

MEDPOL Programme is in charge for the follow up work related to the implementation of the LBS and Hazardous Wastes Protocols. MEDPOL Unit assists Mediterranean countries in the formulation and implementation of pollution monitoring programmes, including pollution control measures and the drafting of action plans aiming to eliminate pollution from land-based sources. In agreement with the Art. 5 of the LBS protocol, in the late 90ies, Contracting Parties have adopted the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to guide the formulation, adoption and implementation of LBS national action plans (NAP). Agreed to monitor the implementation of SAP and NAP through National Baseline Budget (NBB) which is an inventory of the pollutant’s releases from all substantial Land Based Sources of the Contracting Parties on yearly basis. The assessment of the pollutants’ loads constitutes an important tool for both identifying and prioritizing issues to be addressed in the NAPs and evaluating the level of achievement of SAP MED targets through the implementation of the NAPs. In this context, the Countries prepared their first NBB in 2003 and based on this a NBB guidelines has proposed. In 2018, in order to support this data flow obligation, INFO/RAC has implemented the National Baseline Budget as Data Centre reporting system flow. Document Actions Print this
