Deputy Prime Minister Dr. George Vella meets Dr Arne Semb

The Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Environment, and officials had a meeting with Dr Arne Semb, an expert on the Convention on long Range Transboundry Air Pollution who was specifically sent by the Chemical Coordinating Centre to assist Malta in organising its Air Monitoring and analytical capabilities. Dr Semb came to Malta to see what resources are available on the Island. The lack of apparatus and the necessary data and the importance of Coordination were the main topics of the discussion.

Under the EMEP Convention, parties are urged to exchange scientific information and implement activities within the existing "Cooperation Programme for the Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollution in Europe".
