To improve public access to information on the environment and thus contribute in the long term to the prevention and reduction of pollution, the European Union(EU) is setting up a European pollutant release and transfer register(PRTR). Regulation(EC) sets up a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register(PRTR) at European Union(EU) level in the form of a publicly accessible electronic database. This database will meet the requirements of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe(UN-ECE) Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers, signed by the Community in May 2003. The public will be able to access this register free of charge on the internet and will be able to find information using various search criteria(type of pollutant, geographical location, affected environment, source facility, etc.). 1, record 1, English, - European%20Pollutant%20Release%20and%20Transfer%20Register

The Northern Rivers Ecosystem Initiative(NREI) is the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and Government of Northwest Territories response to the recommendations of the Northern River Basins Study. Through NREI, science teams have been focusing on priorities such as pollution prevention, endocrine disruption in fish, drinking water and enhancing environmental effects monitoring. Studies have also continued into the incidence of fish abnormalities and the effects of land use, flow regulation and climate change on aquatic ecosystems. This five-year initiative, which will be completed in 2003, is administered by a Steering Committee with representatives from Canada, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. 4, record 2, English, - Northern%20Rivers%20Ecosystem%20Initiative

L'Initiative des écosystèmes des rivières du Nord (IERN) a été mise sur pied par les gouvernements du Canada, de l'Alberta et des Territoires du Nord-Ouest pour donner suite aux recommandations de l'Étude sur les bassins des rivières du Nord (EBRN). Dans le cadre de l'Initiative, des équipes scientifiques se sont attaquées à des priorités telles que la prévention de la pollution, les troubles endocriniens chez les poissons, l'eau potable et la surveillance accrue des effets environnementaux. On a également poursuivi les études sur la fréquence des anomalies chez les poissons ainsi que sur les effets de l'utilisation des terres, de la régularisation du débit et des changements climatiques sur les écosystèmes aquatiques. Cette initiative quinquennale, qui doit arriver à terme en 2003, est administrée par un comité directeur composé de représentants des gouvernements du Canada, de l'Alberta et des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. 1, record 2, French, - Initiative%20des%20%C3%A9cosyst%C3%A8mes%20des%20rivi%C3%A8res%20du%20Nord
