Abstract

Objectives of the Agreement are to establish the basis for cooperation between the Parties for the protection, improvement and conservation of the environment, as well as to agree on necessary measures to prevent and control air, land and water pollution in the border area. To these ends, each Party shall designate a national co-ordinator whose principal functions will be to coordinate and monitor the implementation of the Agreement. The Parties shall hold a high level meeting at least once a year and may, as they deem necessary, convoke meetings of experts for the purposes of coordinating their environmental protection national programs. The Agreement shall remain in force indefinitely unless one of the Parties notifies the other of its desire to denounce it, in which case the Agreement will terminate six months after the date of such written notification.
