In the month of December, stakeholders continued work related to the Supply Chain Initiative:
o Relations with national platforms and compatibility with national schemes are being assessed and further developed; the stakeholders continue to encourage and monitor the set-up of national dialogue platforms; a mapping of national schemes is regularly updated.
o The preparation of the 2nd Annual Report has been finalised. It includes the findings of the survey and a mapping of the national situations. It will be released at the SCI Annual Event.
o The Annual Event will take place on 27 January 2016 at the European Parliament. The program is being finalized and will be communicated shortly.
