The use of Iris has started in many countries. Countries that have acquired some knowledge in the use of Iris can help other countries to start their implementation process as well. Therefore we ask the users of Iris to share some information on their status of implementation. In the table you will find information about the Iris users that these have shared with us. This table doesn't have any claim of completeness and up-to-dateness.
