As promised in the webinar, we are hereby answering questions from the chat:

Q1. Over 90% share of data for National reporting (article 15) and other reporting purposes is generated inside NIP, however National Reporting is conducted separately from NIP, how do we ensure the coherence between NIP data and national reporting data?

Our speaker from UNEP, Chemicals and Health Branch, Components 1 and 2, Programme Management Officer Ms. Mihaela Claudia Paun answers:

"To date there was no or very limited coherence and consistency between NIP data and national reporting data. But now, with the new Stockholm Convention integrated electronic toolkit put in place such harmonization is happening and countries would be able to acknowledge the interlinkages with the reporting requirements from the very beginning of their NIP review and update process and would be able to address it in a coherent and coordinated manner."
