The Consultative Technical Group for Marine Pollution Preparedness and Response (CTG MPPR) is a forum established by EMSA for marine pollution response experts from the EU Member States, European Free Trade Association (EFTA)/European Economic Area (EEA) Member States, EU candidate countries, Regional Agreement secretariats, the European Commission and EMSA, which meets annually to discuss issues linked to marine pollution response. The main objective of the CTG MPPR is to provide a platform for Member States experts to discuss and take action on issues related to improving preparedness for and response to accidental and deliberate marine pollution. The CTG MPPR has its own Rolling Work Programme, which defines and prioritises projects and activities of interest, which are implemented by the group (such as for example work on claims management and the use of dispersants, organising relevant trainings and workshops)
