PROPOSALS

Proposals given in this chapter will be obligatory for both Parties and do not require further approval when the actual Joint Annual Report is approved and signed by Nominated Monitoring Agents.

1. Slovak and Hungarian experts recommend to perform long-term evaluation of the monitoring results, with the aim to optimize the monitored parameters and frequency of monitoring. Optimization should relate in particular to the quantity and quality of surface and groundwater, as well the assessment method. Long-term evaluation and optimization of the monitoring is to be undertaken outside the scope of the present evaluation.

2. To continue the discussion on the Slovak proposal for reconsidering the evaluation method of surface water quality, which was agreed by both Parties on the meeting of Monitoring Agents on April 25, 2007.
