Countries nevertheless spell out their policy intentions in their dmg legislation, or incorporate their pharmaceutical policy into national planning documents. For example, Tunisia s national pharmaceutical policy is incorporated into its five-year economic development plan. In Malaysia, dmg legislation and regulations and a system for selection, procurement and distribution of essential dmgs all serve to describe that country s policy regarding the pharmaceutical sector. 

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has started work to draft a national plan to control brominated flame retardants, and has published what officials claim to be the most exhaustive national survey analysing the flow of such substances and assessing possible substitutes for specific applications. The survey found that the major source of BFRs emissions in Denmark was from evaporation from products already in use, and underlines previous concerns about the possible harm due to bioaccumulation. Denmark is to join Sweden in urging international action to curb the use of brominated flame retardants.

Harmonization of pharmacopeial standards as a practical matter began at the International Congresses of Pharmacy between 1865 and 1910 [2], but the first formal attempt can be traced to 1902. Both USP President Horatio C. Wood, M.D., and Frederick M. Power, Ph.D., an American chemist of the Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories of London, were appointed by the U.S. Secretary of State as delegates to represent the United States government at the International Conference for the Unification of the Formulae for Heroic Medicines, a conference of 19 countries from Europe and North America [3]. The second conference occurred in 1918. The 3rd in 1925 was attended by 31 countries from all continents except Asia and Australia. They drafted a new International Convention, which came in force in 1929. It revised the 1902 agreements on 77 heroic medicines and introduced the concept of maximum dose. It also requested that the League of Nations create a permanent secretariat of pharmacopeias [4]. Andrew G. DuMez, Ph.D., represented the USP, and was officially appointed by the U.S. Public Health Service to represent the United States at this conference [4,5]. An expert committee of the League of Nations planned a third conference for 1938, but it was never convened because of World War II [2]. 

Portugal - the EDEN project s an 8 million demonstration project directed at establishing the basis of a National Plan investigating the viability the production of energy using fuel cells. EDEN is operated cooperatively between the research laboratories and universities INETI, INECI and 1ST and industrial companies CPPE, EFACEC and AUTOSIL. 

Although Greece has no specific national plan on hydrogen and fuel cells, the topics have recently been included in the Creek national research agenda of the Operational Plan of Competitiveness published by the General Secretariat of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Development. Past research activities in Greece on these two topics have been funded primarily by EC funds.

According to Directive 86/469/EEC of 16 September, 1986 (49), and its amendments, each Member State is required to test for the presence of antibiotics and other veterinary drug residues in edible animal products. Under the EU Annual National Plan (ANP) program, each Member State has to submit every year to the Commission a monitoring plan taking into account the specific national situation and setting out the national measures to be taken. The Commission examines the plans communicated by Member States to determine if they conform to the provisions laid down by Directive 86/469/EEC. 

In 1987 for the first time all Member States presented a plan to the Commission to identify illegal use of hormones. In 1988 they further presented a plan for identification of other contaminants including antimicrobial substances. These plans are updated each year in search of new substances and in light of the experience gained from positive samples recorded during previous year or improvements on analytical techniques. The European Union requires the Member States to report the results of National Plans to the Commission that will possibly publish the data in the future. Countries exporting to the EU are also required to present comparable results.

Disaster response, including national plans, must be routinely updated to incorporate new presidential directives and legislative changes and to reflect ongoing plan improvements and enhanced response capabilities, especially as a result of lessons learned. Because of the ever-changing nature of disaster response, published documents soon become outdated. Nurses need to know where they can obtain the most up-to-date information. Guidance to online resources on disaster response and emergency preparedness are provided. 

The construction of the SPEEDI network was started in 1986, in order to establish the data communication lines between the SPEEDI operations center, the Science and Technology Agency (STA) and prefectural governments in which nuclear plants are placed, according to a national plan for the improvement of the national emergency countermeasure system in Japan.
