Résumé These Measures are formulated in accordance with the Article 47 of the Marine Environmental Protection Law, aiming to implement the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Control over Dumping Wastes into the Sea Waters. The Measures consist of 42 articles. In order to prevent or reduce the pollution damage to the marine environment, necessary pre-treatment shall be carried out for wastes and other substances to be dumped into the ocean, depending on their toxicity (art.4). Waste matters fall into three categories in the light of their toxicity, content of harmful elements and impact upon the marine environment (art. 5). Wastes other than listed in Annex I or II of the Regulations, shall be evaluated in advance to determine the material category when not sure if dumping such wastes is harmless (art.6). The areas of dumping shall be designated by the National Oceanographic Bureau and its agencies (art. 8). Units who wish to dump waste into the ocean shall apply for a licence with the Bureau or one of its agencies (art. 11). The Measures provide for the conditions, procedures and requirements to be satisfied for the application, examination and approval of such licences. The remaining provisions deal with procedures of dumping, monitoring and testing in dumping areas, and offences and penalties.
