| Pre.17 | Taking into consideration existing scientific and technical data on emissions, atmospheric processes and effects on human health and the environment of persistent organic pollutants, as well as on abatement costs, and acknowledging the need to continue scientific and technical cooperation to further the understanding of these issues, |
| Art.3.8 | 8. Each Party shall develop and maintain emission inventories for the substances listed in annex III, and shall collect available information relating to the production and sales of the substances listed in annexes I and II, for those Parties within the geographical scope of EMEP, using, as a minimum, the methodologies and the spatial and temporal resolution specified by the Steering Body of EMEP, and, for those Parties outside the geographical scope of EMEP, using as guidance the methodologies developed through the work plan of the Executive Body. It shall report this information in accordance with the reporting requirements set out in article 9 below. |
| Art.4.1 | 1. Article 3, paragraph 1, shall not apply to quantities of a substance to be used for laboratory-scale research or as a reference standard. |
| Art.4.2.a | (a) For research other than that referred to in paragraph 1 above, if: |
| Art.5.1x | The Parties shall, in a manner consistent with their laws, regulations and practices, create favourable conditions to facilitate the exchange of information and technology designed to reduce the generation and emission of persistent organic pollutants and to develop cost-effective alternatives, by promoting, inter alia: |
| Art.5.1x.a | (a) Contacts and cooperation among appropriate organizations and individuals in the private and public sectors that are capable of providing technology, design and engineering services, equipment or finance; |
| Art.5.1x.b | (b) The exchange of and access to information on the development and use of alternatives to persistent organic pollutants as well as on the evaluation of the risks that such alternatives pose to human health and the environment, and information on the economic and social costs of such alternatives; |
| Art.5.1x.c | (c) The compilation and regular updating of lists of their designated authorities engaged in similar activities in other international forums; |
| Art.5.1x.d | (d) The exchange of information on activities conducted in other international forums. |
| Art.8.1x | The Parties shall encourage research, development, monitoring and cooperation related, but not limited, to: |
| Art.8.1x.a | (a) Emissions, long-range transport and deposition levels and their modeling, existing levels in the biotic and abiotic environment, the elaboration of procedures for harmonizing relevant methodologies; |
| Art.8.1x.b | (b) Pollutant pathways and inventories in representative ecosystems; |
| Art.8.1x.c | (c) Relevant effects on human health and the environment, including quantification of those effects; |
| Art.8.1x.d | (d) Best available techniques and practices, including agricultural practices, and emission control techniques and practices currently employed by the Parties or under development; |
| Art.8.1x.e | (e) Methodologies permitting consideration of socio-economic factors in the evaluation of alternative control strategies; |
| Art.8.1x.f | (f) An effects-based approach which integrates appropriate information, including information obtained under subparagraphs (a) to (e) above, on measured or modeled environmental levels, pathways, and effects on human health and the environment, for the purpose of formulating future control strategies which also take into account economic and technological factors; |
| Art.8.1x.g | (g) Methods for estimating national emissions and projecting future emissions of individual persistent organic pollutants and for evaluating how such estimates and projections can be used to structure future obligations; |
| Art.8.1x.h | (h) Levels of substances subject to the present Protocol that are contained as contaminants in other substances, chemical products or manufactured articles and the significance of these levels for long-range transport, as well as techniques to reduce levels of these contaminants, and, in addition, levels of persistent organic pollutants generated during the life cycle of timber treated with pentachlorophenol. Priority should be given to research on substances considered to be the most likely to be submitted under the procedures specified in article 14, paragraph 6. |
| Art.10.3 | 3. The Parties shall, at sessions of the Executive Body, review the sufficiency and effectiveness of the obligations set out in the present Protocol. Such reviews will take into account the best available scientific information on the effects of the deposition of persistent organic pollutants, assessments of technological developments, changing economic conditions and the fulfillment of the obligations on emission levels. The procedures, methods and timing for such reviews shall be specified by the Parties at a session of the Executive Body. The first such review shall be completed no later than three years after the present Protocol enters into force. |
