Objective
Methyl bromide is a significant ozone depleting substance. It was added to the Montreal Protocol in 1992. The Regulations EC2037/00 & EC3093/94, required reductions in methyl bromide consumption and the consumption is scheduled to be phased out in EU on 01/01/05 for the majority of its uses. In the EU countries, non chemical & chemical alternatives to methyl bromide (MB) are available and have been adopted in several uses in soil disinfestations and in post harvest sector. However it seems that many factors are limiting a wider application & for several uses it would be not feasible to expand the use of these alternatives.
The project will set up and implement a coordination framework improving the delivery of sustainable alternatives. The partnership is composed of 10 partners from 6 countries (France,Italy,Spain,Belgium,Romania,Greece) using high quantities of MB and Belgium where MB has been continuously decreasing. They represent different types of organisations (technical transfer organizations, research institutes, experimentation centres, national agencies & associations) with the critical mass required. AREFLH will be the coordinator.
Therefore the objectives are:
1) Identify problems impeding the adoptions of alternatives to methyl bromide and collect data on development work and ongoing research on used successfully alternatives;
2) evaluate the implementation of successful alternatives and select good practices in successful alternatives;
3) Define dissemination tools in order to promote the transfer of good practices and coordinate the methodology and the content of the messages delivered to all the concerned actors;
4) Ensure a dynamic and efficient governance of the project.
5) Internet dissemination: create an online list of electronic contacts of public administrations, chemical industries, academics representatives from EU member states that will be updated on the status of the project and the content of the knowledge base as it is updated by means of an e-newsletter
