We have recently amended our Merchants' Shipping Act, with a view to reducing marine pollution from marine transport activities and dumping.

Waste management Parties reported in varying degrees of detail on measures, some planned and some already implemented, to limit emissions in the waste management sector.

Mining of municipal landfills is more complicated and has to be based on the expected content of the landfill.

It agreed that the topic of landfills should be reviewed and specific information should be included in the section on waste management on the maintenance of landfills.

The objectives of the Basel Convention are to reduce the generation and transboundary movement of hazardous wastes to a minimum and ensure that such wastes are treated and disposed of as close to the source of generation as possible and in an environmentally sound manner.

The reality is that waste has become one of the global public health problems of modern society today, particularly when it comes to hazardous (medical, radioactive, pharmaceutical) and potentially dangerous waste.

Measures to reduce or eliminate releases from intentional production and use

Article 14 of the Basel Convention recommends the establishment of regional or sub regional centers for training and technology transfers regarding the management of hazardous wastes and other wastes and the minimization of their generation.
