Malta assesses its National Contingency Plan with the harmonised self-assessment tool - RETOS
REMPEC attended the first out of 7 national workshops aiming at assessing the National Contingency Plans (NCP) of the Western Mediterranean coastal States, using the Readiness Evaluation Tool for Oil Spills (RETOS™), which was introduced at the Sub-regional Workshop on the use of RETOS (24-26 April 2019, REMPEC, Valletta, Malta).
Malta has organized a three-day workshop (08-10 October 2019) attended by 10 representatives from Maltese authorities involved in the NCP, namely Transport Malta, the Civil Protection Department, the Environmental and Resources Authority as well as the Armed Forces of Malta.
This activity is implemented in the framework of the Project Western Mediterranean Region Marine Oil and HNS Pollution Cooperation (West MOPoCo) and co-financed by the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (DG ECHO).
