The Consultative Group on Environment and Health established under the European Environment and Health Strategy and consisting of 50 Member States representatives and 50 representatives of major stakeholder organisations will closely follow the work of the Implementation Group and monitor the progress of implementation.

The Implementation Group members need to ensure strong relations with their national government in order to guarantee transparency and full involvement of all Member States. Therefore "governmental representatives responsible for HBM" are identified. They will be regularly informed by the Implementation Group members on the progress and on the need for decisions with a view to a wide support to the implementation procedure.

The Implementation Group "Recommendations" have be discussed with the Consultative Group on Environment & Health, who have be consulted on a regular basis during the process of preparing the Pilot Project. While the contracts will provide purely scientific reports, the Implementation Group will have to focus on the science-policy interface.
