Ecuador The lists of chemicals was agreed in the National Executive Proposal, including all POPs. Ministry of Environment agreed to integrate existing reporting systems of emissions to air and to host an integrated reporting system in the SUIA (Unique Information System). There need to be various coordinating meetings among the different departments of the Ministry to work on the implementation of this integrated system and its inclusion in the SUIA. Preliminary elements are ready. Further development is needed, as well as significant socialization for its approval. An Excel reporting format was drafted and piloted. This format included information from existing reporting systems and new information for the PRTR. The format that was piloted worked well and the Ministry agreed to integrate existing reporting formats in the PRTR and the SUIA. Now Ecuador wants to work on having this reporting format online, as Peru did. Existing techniques, such as AP-42, were used during the pilot in Ecuador. Ecuador wishes to develop own national estimation guidelines for each reporting sector, during the PRTR implementation. Industry was very participative during the PRTR pilot trial and is willing to continue PRTR implementation. All POPs have been included in the PRTR list that will be mandatory in the future stages of PRTR implementation. Need further guidance and training on how to report POPs in the PRTR system.
