Activities developed in two missions, first to hold a lecture at MIA Inception Workshop, in order to present lessons learned from other countries experiences in conducting the National Mercury Inventory (NMI) and a second mission to conduct extensive bilateral meetings with relevant stakeholders across the country: public and private institutions as copper mining, steel, energy and plastic/rubber industries, hospitals, and industrial professional associations in Ankara, Denizli, Izmir, Istanbul, Izmit and Sakarya. The main goal – the scope of the Treaty and its commitments, with special focus on the first NMI and the type/quality of data requested from the different sectors, in order to validate the NMI’s results, to be conducted within the framework of the MIA Exercise.
