The initiative was also discussed and a preliminary agreement on the scope and general outline of such a plan was reached at the level of the existing ` Trilateral Commission for the Protection of the Adriatic Sea and the Coastal Area` .

? Recognizing that the Mediterranean Sea in general, and the Adriatic Sea in particular, is a major route for transporting oil and that there is a permanent risk of oil pollution, which imposes on the Mediterranean coastal States in the Adriatic sub-region an obligation to constantly develop measures for preventing pollution from ships and to organize and prepare response to marine pollution incidents, and that such permanent efforts have to be made at national, sub-regional and regional levels;

RECOGNIZING that it may be desirable to adopt, on a national or regional level, more stringent measures with respect to prevention and elimination of pollution of the marine environment from dumping at sea than are provided for in international conventions or other types of agreements with a global scope,

Declaring that effective action to prevent and combat the smuggling of migrants by land, sea and air requires a comprehensive international approach, including cooperation, the exchange of information and other appropriate measures, including socio-economic measures, at the national, regional and international levels,

.4 relevant information pertaining to the meteorological conditions in the proposed area of application of the SOx emission controls and the land and sea areas at risk, in particular prevailing wind patterns, or to topographical, geological, oceanographic, morphological or other conditions that may lead to an increased probability of higher localized air pollution or levels of acidification;

The Contracting Parties shall take all measures in conformity with international law to prevent, abate, combat and to the fullest possible extent eliminate pollution of the Mediterranean Sea Area caused by discharges from ships and to ensure the effective implementation in that Area of the rules which are generally recognized at the international level relating to the control of this type of pollution.

In the succession the Late Paleocene transgression or the sea level change is reflected.

The Late Paleocene transgression, or the global sea level-rise, covered platform in SW Slovenia.

The environmental change is associated with rapid eustatic drop of the sea level in the Early Turonian (Haq et al., 1987).

In the Upper Turonian the sudden drop of the eustatic sea level (Haq et al., 1987) interrupted the deposition of the Repen Formation.

The highest ratios between Hg abundances in dust versus soil were found in the most distant localities and on higher altitudes above the sea level.

The decline of the sea level below the margin of the carbonate platform, and its renewed rise resulted into the deposition of a new sequence on the platform.

An interesting contribution to the knowledge of global oscillations of the sea level in the Upper Cretaceous was presented by Summesberger and others (1996a).

At present there is no unified opinion on the reflection of the Upper Santonian-Campanian eustatic sea level uplift in the sedimentary rocks of the Trieste-Komen plateau.

The origin of the Aptian-Albian emersion phase on the mapped territory is associated with the generally known eustatic drop of the sea level on the Dinaric carbonate platform (Haq et al., 1987).

This change in the sea level had its expression in a rapid lithologic transition from calcispheral limestones to shallow marine biomicritic limestones, often with disiccation pores, and locally to oncoidal limestones.

On the top of this succession, well defined is the Late Paleocene Thanetian transgression resp. rise of the sea level that covered after 5 million years the entire region of present SW Slovenia (Pls.1,3,4,5,7; Figs.3,10).

Regardless of that, the age of the lower part of the formation could be roughly assessed by means of the eustatic drop of the sea level during the Upper Turonian (Haq et al., 1988) that resulted into the deposition of the oncolite horizon.

In the same way as with the Komen limestone also the possibilities of formation of the Tomaj limestone cannot be correlated simply with the global events, as oscillations of the sea level, that might have influenced the change of biotopes.

Yet Summesberger and others (1996a,b) believe that certain higher levels of the Tomaj limestone within the Lipica Formation could be associated with sea-level oscillations of the Santonian-Campanian transgression on the Dinaric carbonate platform.

The most important geologic event at the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary was an eustatic uplift of the sea level (Haq et al., 1987) that caused submersion of numerous platforms and reefs (Arthur & Schlanger, 1979; Jenkyns, 1985, 1991; Weimer, 1988; Hine, 1993).

The deposition of the beds containing ammonites corresponds temporally to the uplift of the sea-level during the Upper Santonian and Campanian, that is during the time of the second pelagic episode on the Dinaric carbonate platform (Gušicy & Jelaska, 1990).

Although the data considered in the RMY database had been derived from data collected over a limited area (Damascus International Airport, a latitude of 26o 33' N and a longitude of 32o 36' E, with an elevation of 608m above sea level), they represent a large area of Damascus.

Šribar (1995) and Šribar and others (1995) placed between the Formation 3 (that corresponds approximately to the Sežana Formation) and Formation 5 (approximately the Lipica Formation) the Formation 4 which has been interpreted as the result of the Upper Santonian-Campanian eustatic uplift of the sea level.

1 Contracting Governments shall set security levels and ensure the provision of security level information to ships operating in their territorial sea or having communicated an intention to enter their territorial sea.

On the other hand, in certain levels of laminites numerous pelagic microfossils occur that are a clear evidence of good connection to the open sea.

1 there is a change in the security level applying to the ship while it is at sea, e.g. because of the geographical area in which it is operating or relating to the ship itself;

The TACs shall not exceed a level of catches which a scientific evaluation, carried out by the STECF in the light of the most recent report of the ICES, has indicated will result in an increase of 30 % in the quantities of mature fish in the sea at the end of the year of their application, compared to the quantities estimated to have been in the sea at the start of that year.

Recent scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has indicated that a number of cod stocks in Community waters have been subjected to levels of mortality by fishing which have eroded the quantities of mature fish in the sea to the point at which the stocks may not be able to replenish themselves by reproduction and that these stocks are therefore threatened with collapse.

When Contracting Governments set security levels and ensure the provision of security-level information to ships operating in their territorial sea, or having communicated an intention to enter their territorial sea, such ships shall be advised to maintain vigilance and report immediately to their Administration and any nearby coastal States any information that comes to their attention that might affect maritime security in the area.

provision should be made for a specific support scheme for some products frozen at sea, in the form of private storage aid for such products, subject to certain limits and conditions, provided they cannot be disposed of on the market above a price to be set at Community level;

Whereas it is vital that Member States cooperate at the operational level during inspections at sea of fishing activities, in order to permit effective and financially justifiable inspections, particularly of operations carried out in waters outside the jurisdiction or sovereignty of a Member State;

Whereas that examination has demonstrated that with regard to radio communications an equivalent level of safety can be guaranteed for such vessels, when operating exclusively in sea area A1, by requiring the carriage of an additional VHF radio using Digital Selective Calling (DSC) in lieu of an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB);

The requirements set out in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of life at Sea (1974 SOLAS), the 1966 International Convention on Load Lines (LL 1966) and the 1973 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as amended by the 1978 Protocol (MARPOL 73/78) provide for a high level of ship safety and environmental protection.

An indication of the growing concern about this phenomenon at international level was the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of a Convention against Transnational Organised Crime, supplemented by a Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, and a Protocol Against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air.
