11 Multiplying Acquired Knowledge POPs Action Plans developed by the participants as the training outcomes Costa Rica Legal Seminar on Green International Custom and POPs Environmental Management Plan; Paraguay - Action plan for the industrial use of New POPs; Venezuela - Environmentally sound management of chemicals, hazardous materials and waste generated by educational institutions; Colombia, Guatemala and Nicaragua - Raising awareness about POPs

12 Multiplying Acquired Knowledge POPs Action Plans developed by the participants as the training outcomes Pernambuco - Action plan on identification of the unintentional POPs sources in the Suape-PE Industrial and Port Complex ; Goiás - Action Plan for unintentional POPs ; Rio de Janeiro- established a permanent working group, in order to study and to propose concepts, criteria, procedures, guidelines and actions to support the POPs public policy and legislation development.

13 Second edition of the International Training: January 7 to February 7, 2013 Sixty technicians and professionals thirty from 10 GRULAC countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay) thirty from 10 Brazilian states. Experts from other Regional Centres will be invited as Instructors (successful experiences on WEEE management, BAT/BEP technologies) Program will be designed in order to include also Basel and Rotterdam Conventions
