  Conference to he held in Chisinau, Moldova from October 3 through October 6, 2006 on nutrient reduction and management in the Danube-Black Sea basin. It is being co-sponsored by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Moldova, World Bank, Global Environment Facility (GEF), United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and others.
This year the conference will focus on ways and methodologies to measure results of nutrient pollution control activities. Under the GEF-supported Danube River-Black Sea Strategic Partnership Program, pilot projects for nutrient pollution control are underway in several riparian countries, including Moldova. We believe that the experiences gained and lessons learned from these ongoing pilot initiatives on nutrient reduction provide fertile ground for scaling up measures at the national and regional levels. In this context, it is important to develop an agreed methodology that would help us in assessing nutrient reduction at the local, country and regional levels and the overall impact of our efforts in achieving not only the objectives of the Danube-Black Sea Partnership Program but also meeting the requirements of the EU Water Framework and Nitrates Directives.
The program, logistical arrangements and registration form for the conference are provided in the attached annexes. Please do not hesitate to contact the local organizing committee, headed by Mr. Alexandru Jolondcovschi, Project Manager for the Agricultural Pollution Control Project, e-mail:, +373 22 221586 (office) or Ms. Silvia Pana-Carp e-mail: . + 373 22 224187 (office) or + 373 69 130796 (mobile).
