The sub-network on the reduction of odours in animal production, was set up as a result of a consultative meeting of interested European states organised by the Swedish Government on behalf of FAO in 1976. The concept of a consultative information network was already well established by FAO by its European System of Co-operative Research Networks (ESCORENA) which commenced in 1973. ESCORENA has sponsored and established ten networks, these range in interest from olive production, pesticide impact on the environment, maize production to animal waste utilisation. 

It was suggested that various data banks in Sweden could be a useful source of data. In particular those operated by the Swedish Labour Inspection Service at Vasteras and ASEA the robot manufacturers were identified as possible sources of data. Contact has been made with both and a visit was made by two members of WGl to negotiate access to the data. The data in these banks is structured to provide statistics on lost time accidents at the work place and mainly provided Information on the extent of injury and time lost rather than full details of the system involved and the real cause.
