The programme is given on page 3, a summary of the workshop follows below: Sjaak van Loo, Task leader of Task 32, chaired the meeting and welcomed all participants. Before the workshop, contact was made with several NGO’s to discuss options for participation. Although only a few could make it to this workshop, the initiative was conceived very positively as it . . .
