Under the 1997 PHARE Cross Border Cooperation Program North Macedonia-Greece, two automatic water quality-monitoring stations (WQMSs) were deployed at two locations, namely Taor and Demir Kapia on the River Vardar. The objectives of this project were to ensure that inspection testing and final acceptance of supplies (and associated services) delivered under Contract No. 02/0088 (EAR TdB Ref. 97/MAC02/07/008) follows the relevant provisions of the underlying supply contract, to verify functionality of remote data transfer software and telemetry hardware, and finally to assist in the drafting of a detailed maintenance contract covering supplier's support for 2 years following the final acceptance of the supplies.
