The Meeting was preceded by a HELCOM workshop on sewage from ships, also held in Szczecin, Poland, on 25 November 2013 within the framework of the HELCOM Cooperation Platform on Port Reception Facilities (PRFs) in the Baltic Sea. The outcome is included as Attachment 2. The Meeting discussed a Russian Federation proposal regarding reporting/reviewing the implementation of the decisions of the HELCOM Ministerial Declarations and decided to forward this issue for consideration by the HELCOM HOD Meeting (§2.5).
