--- Upon
the end of training workshop, HRC arranged a forum for the
exchange of SHP experience and technology. Representatives
from the 14 countries presented their country reports, introducing
the experiences and lessons learnt in the practice of developing
SHP in their own countries. The computer aided presentations
were well prepared and informative, often interwoven by
the heated discussions. Some presentations introduced the
fast development of SHP and addressed the SHP policies of
their own countries, attracting the attention of many listeners,
as the legal issues are actually a very important aspect
of SHP exploitation.(2002-11-15)
