Furthermore, the Commission has invited Member States to nominate governmental representatives responsible for HBM in the environment and / or health and / or research ministries to which Implementation Group members have to report in order to ensure strong feedback to the national governments. This entails continuous and close exchange of information between the European Commission, Implementation Group members and representatives of the national governments on the progress made in the preparation of the Pilot Project. It also implies regular reporting back on the position of the national governments (List of governmental representatives).
