Expert Group on Best Available Techniques and

Report of the first meeting of the Expert Group on Best Available Techniques and Best Environmental Practices

The Parties to the Stockholm Convention had established an Expert Group on Best Available Techniques and Best Environmental Practices, which was already considering this topic.

The introduction of best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) to reduce or eliminate releases of toxic chemicals from sinter plants in Egypt

This may be the case with consideration of adoption and further work on the guidelines on best available techniques and guidance on best environmental practices.

Furthermore, attention was drawn to the financial implications of adopting best available techniques, in particular for developing countries, and to the costs involved in the application of best available techniques to small and medium sized enterprises and those with low production levels.

Third session of the Expert Group on Best Available Techniques and Best Environmental Practices Relevant to Provisions of Article 5 and Annex C of the Stockholm Convention

For the purposes of the present report, the guidelines on best available techniques and provisional guidance on best environmental practices are hereinafter referred to as the guidelines .

Considerations that countries might take into account when establishing requirements for best available techniques, including economic and social considerations

It was suggested that the text should comprise a summary and a list of website citations on best available techniques and best environmental practices for operating shredder plants.

Table 2.2.5 Projected cost of supporting the development and updating of guidance or guidelines (e.g., for developing national implementation plans for the Convention, for best available techniques and best environmental practices, etc.)

The Expert Group notes that two processes (cement kiln co incineration and hazardous waste incineration) are already covered in the current draft guidelines on best available techniques and provisional guidance on best environmental practices.

Introducing agenda item 3, the Secretariat made a short presentation on the draft guidelines on best available techniques and provisional guidance on best environmental practices, as contained in document UNEP POPS COP.1 INF 7.

(b) Preparation and conduct of, reporting on and follow up to two sessions of the Expert Group on Best Available Techniques and Best Environmental Practices Relevant to Provisions of Article 5 and Annex C of the Stockholm Convention

Further work on the enhancement or strengthening, as appropriate, of the guidelines on best available techniques and provisional guidance on best environmental practices relevant to the provisions of Article 5 of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.

Special investigative techniques

special investigation techniques

These techniques include

Environmental monitoring techniques

(i) Supporting the development and updating of guidance or guidelines on how to estimate releases of unintentionally produced POPs, and on best available techniques and best environmental practices for reducing or eliminating releases from new and existing sources of these pollutants

The list of concrete measures contains a number of activities to improve general chemicals management practices, which would entail measures such as the development and implementation of cleaner production methods in accordance with best available techniques and best environmental practices.

As noted above, money laundering techniques develop constantly and investigative techniques tend to lag behind.

However, these techniques are approaching their practical limit, and line widths in the 45 nm range appear to be near the best that can be achieved with conventional design.

(d) New investigative techniques

Techniques Biophysical chemists employ various techniques used in physical chemistry to probe the structure of biological systems.

The contact group on cross cutting issues other than waste management considered ways to improve the text of the guidelines, including the addition of a general introduction to best available techniques and best environmental practices and information on the treatment of wastewater and solid waste.

B. Technology based audit techniques

Alternative non destructive assay techniques

Application of knowledge management techniques.

Appropriate containment techniques may include

A number of different techniques exist.

(1.4) In relation to investigation techniques

Techniques for gathering evidence on cartels

The measurement techniques would include seismology.

9. Also requests the Secretary General to continue to explore best practices and techniques in client satisfaction evaluations and to report on a regular basis to the General Assembly on the results achieved

Techniques and terms All social engineering techniques are based on specific attributes of human decision making known as cognitive biases.

Awareness of best practices and information disseminated, research undertaken and new techniques developed and shared among Member States to respond to crime problems as well as to promote fair and efficient criminal justice systems.

Activities will focus on the identification and development of best practices in areas related to the Convention, with particular attention to the development of special investigative techniques and the introduction of witness protection procedures.

Can be combined with other decision techniques.
