The workshop marks the first meeting in Central Asia devoted to pollutant release and transfer registers. The workshop will provide a preliminary assessment of the possibilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan to participate in this novel international Right-to-Know agreement.
Were Kazakhstan to accede to the Kiev Protocol, it could become the first country to join the instrument following its adoption by 36 countries and the European Community in May 2003.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
