Meeting Report
: 
Background
The Scoping Meeting of the Chemicals in Products (CiP) project will decide on priorities with regard to product groups and information categories and to identify key stakeholder needs that the initial analytical investigation of the CiP project should focus on. These investigations should provide a full-range picture of the relevance, needs and gaps of existing information systems to an international workshop planned to take place in mid 2010.
As it is not be possible to work in all areas and on all chemicals at the initial stages of the CiP project, a survey was designed to identify good examples provided through existing information systems, as well as to collect thoughts and views from SAICM stakeholders on the focus and priorities for the upcoming assessment of stakeholder information needs. Survey results will be considered in the Scoping Meeting and will help steer the initial elements of the analytical part of the project without limiting the focus of any future cooperative action or information system(s).
