Recognizing that it is unlikely that any government would engage in that kind of a program full scale without doing some kind of a pilot project, or trying it in a small framework initially to see how it works, can you tell us what a pilot project, meaning effectively a program that would be experimental in nature, would look like?

Water scarcity is projected to become a major problem with almost half the world's population living in areas of high water stress by 2030[11]; New risks are emerging with potentially highly disruptive consequences (space weather related events, multi-risk events such as the 2011 Fukushima triple disaster, risks in a digital and high-tech era, including cyber risks); Extensive risk events (small scale, highly frequent, and localised events such as flash floods, fires and landslides) are often underestimated and under-reported but they nevertheless undermine local development as well as national competitiveness; Economies are globalise ...[+++]d and increasingly structured around complex global supply chains; as demonstrated by the 2011 Floods in Thailand the economic shock of a disaster can ripple out to economies and businesses on the other side of the world; Economic and financial downturn puts pressure on national budgets to secure disaster risk management funding.

There have also been extensive field trials, that is, small-scale experiments carried out in Canada during that time.

where it is justified for use in research, test in small-scale field trials or for variety conservation purposes agreed by the competent authority of the Member State.

More concretely, new medicines or vaccines emerging from clinical research may prove highly promising in preliminary small-scale clinical trials but may not be developed further into market products in the absence of sufficient funds and/or facilities for the necessary large-scale trials.

Specifically, the Chief Conservation Officer’s approval to use the agent in response to a spill will not be required in the case of a small-scale test if prescribed requirements are met.
