Résumé

This amendment modifies the title of the Protocol to read: Protocol for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution from Land-based Sources and Activities. It adds land-based activities to the scope of the Protocol (arts. 1,4,5,8,9, 10, Annex I.) and extends the area covered to include the entire watershed area within the territories of the Parties draining into the Mediterranean Sea Area (hydrologic basin) (art. 3 (b)). Moreover, it strengthens measures to eliminate to the Sea Area (art. 1, 8(b)), giving priority to the phasing out of inputs of substances that are toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate (art.l, 5). Parties agree to take into account the best available techniques and the best environmental practice when they adopt action plans, programmes and measures (art.5.4) and to take preventive measures to reduce to the minimum the risk of pollution caused by accidents (art.5.5). The Amendment provides for inspection systems to assess compliance with authorisation and regulations concerning point source discharges and release into water or air that reach and may affect the Mediterranean Area, the provision of assistance necessary for that purpose, and establishment of appropriate sanctions in case of non-compliance (art. 6.2, 3 and 4). Parties are to make the finding of monitoring activities accessible to the public (art.8). Finally, the Amendment promotes scientific and technical cooperation among Parties for the development of clean production processes as well as access to, and transfer of, environmentally sound technology including clean production technology (art.9).
