Harmonization process and metadata compilation very time consuming.
Schedule of international meetings that act as decision-making bodies for the approval of the data needs to be complied with, causing delays in publishing latest collection round of data.
Attribution of the data to a specific person/data owner as data provision is under the responsibility of the Regional Organisation Groups (ROGs).

Among the main results belong:
New data visualisation tools were developed - and adapted for for higher amounts of data
GMP DWH has radically improved exploitation of the in-situ observation networks (EMEP, AMAP, MONET, GAPS, GENASIS, NORMAN, AQUAGAPS) data and has facilitated efficient access to the data for policy-makers, scientists and public.
Datasets from GMP 2 and GMP 3 for Air, Water, Human milk and Human blood monitoring from Africa, Asia and Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, WEOG and GRULAG regions are registered in NextGEOSS data catalogue.
Wide array of POPs data available “at a glance”
Visualisation tools that make it easier to analyse the data
Linked to NexGEOSS data catalogue and so available on a global scale
