37 EURISCO National Inventory Focal Points The nominated Focal Points will be the unique link between the EURISCO and the different national documentation systems. Within their country, Focal Points will hold responsibility for the creation and/or the development and/or the coordination at national level of PGR inventories. They will be expected to ensure the appropriate flow of data to the European catalogue, EURISCO. Their role will be eminently technical, but they are also expected to give clearance for the on-line publication of country passport data.
