Label	Provision
Pre.8	RECOGNISING the need to study the root causes and the implications of the transboundary haze pollution and the need to seek solutions for the problems identified,
Pre.9	AFFIRMING their willingness to further strengthen international co-operation to develop national policies for preventing and monitoring transboundary haze pollution,
Pre.10	AFFIRMING ALSO their willingness to co-ordinate national action for preventing and monitoring transboundary haze pollution through exchange of information, consultation, research and monitoring,
Pre.11	DESIRING to undertake individual and joint action to assess the origin, causes, nature and extent of land and/ or forest fires and the resulting haze, to prevent and control the sources of such land and/ or forest fires and the resulting haze by applying environmentally sound policies, practices and technologies and to strengthen national and regional capabilities and co-operation in assessment, prevention, mitigation and management of land and/ or forest fires and the resulting haze,
Art.2.1x	The objective of this Agreement is to prevent and monitor transboundary haze pollution as a result of land and/ or forest fires which should be mitigated, through concerted national efforts and intensified regional and international co-operation. This should be pursued in the overall context of sustainable development and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Art.3.2	2. The Parties shall, in the spirit of solidarity and partnership and in accordance with their respective needs, capabilities and situations, strengthen co-operation and co-ordination to prevent and monitor transboundary haze pollution as a result of land and/ or forest fires which should be mitigated.
Art.3.3	3. The Parties should take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent and monitor tranboundary haze pollution as a result of land and/ or forest fires which should be mitigated, to minimise its adverse effects. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage from transboundary haze pollution, even without full scientific certainty, precautionary measures shall be taken by Parties concerned.
Art.4.1	1. Co-operate in developing and implementing measures to prevent and monitor transboundary haze pollution as a result of land and/ or forest fires which should be mitigated, and to control sources of fires, including by the identification of fires, development of monitoring, assessment and early warning systems, exchange of information and technology, and the provision of mutual assistance.
Art.7.1	1. Each Party shall take appropriate measures to monitor:
Art.7.1.a	a. all fire prone areas,
Art.7.1.b	b. all land and/ or forest fires,

Art.7.1.d	d. haze pollution arising from such land and/ or forest fires.
Art.7.2	2. Each Party shall designate one or more bodies to function as National Monitoring Centres, to undertake monitoring referred to in paragraph 1 above in accordance with their respective national procedures.
Art.8.1	1. Each Party shall ensure that its National Monitoring Centre, at agreed regular intervals, communicates to the ASEAN Centre, directly or through its Focal Point, data obtained relating to fire prone areas, land and/ or forest fires, the environmental conditions conducive to such land and/ or forest fires, and haze pollution arising from such land and/ or forest fires.
Art.8.2	2. The ASEAN Centre shall receive, consolidate and analyse the data communicated by the respective National Monitoring Centres or Focal Points.
Art.8.3	3. On the basis of analysis of the data received, the ASEAN Centre shall, where possible, provide to each Party, through its Focal Point, an assessment of risks to human health or the environment arising from land and/ or forest fires and the resulting transboundary haze pollution.
Art.9.1x.a	a. Developing and implementing legislative and other regulatory measures, as well as programmes and strategies to promote zero burning policy to deal with land and/ or forest fires resulting in transboundary haze pollution;
Art.9.1x.b	b. Developing other appropriate policies to curb activities that may lead to land and/ or forest fires;
Art.9.1x.c	c. Identifying and monitoring areas prone to occurrence of land and/ or forest fires;
Art.16.1	1. In order to increase the preparedness for and to mitigate the risks to human health and the environment arising from land and/ or forest fires or haze pollution arising from such fires, the Parties shall undertake technical co-operation in this field, including the following:
