Résumé

Objective: To prevent and monitor transboundary haze pollution resulting from land and/or forest fires.

Summary of provisions: Haze pollution is defined in Article 1.5. Article 2 defines the principles that are to guide the implementation of this Agreement. Each Contracting Party undertakes to monitor fires and haze pollution arising from these fires and to take action to put out or control the fires (art. 7). Parties agree to take measures to prevent and control activities related to these fires (art. 9) and to ensure that the equipment, material as well as human and financial resources are mobilised to mitigate impacts (art. 11). They further agree to communicate data on fire prone areas and haze pollution arising from fires at regular intervals (art. 8) and to respond to information requests when transboundary haze pollution originates from within their territories (art. 4.2). Parties may, inter alia, request assistance from other Parties in the event of fires or haze pollution (art. 12). Finally, parties undertake to develop strategies, response plans and technical cooperation, inter alia, to identify, manage and control risks to human health and the environment. (art. 10 and art. 16).

Institutional mechanisms: A Conference of Parties (art. 18) is established. The ASEAN Secretariat serves as the Secretariat for this Agreement (art. 19). An ASEAN Co-ordinating Centre for Transboundary Haze Pollution Control is set up (art. 5 and Annex) inter alia, to provide Parties with an assessment of risks to human health or the environment (art. 8). A Committee of representatives of national authorities of the Parties oversees the operations of the Centre (art. 5.3). Each Party has to designate one or more Competent Authorities and a Focal Point authorised to act on its behalf in the performance of the required administrative functions (art. 5).
