ARRANGEMENT between the Nuclear Safety Administration of the Republic of Slovenia and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management of the Republic of Austria regarding Co-operation in the Field of Radiation Protection and Strengthening of the Mutual Exchange of Data of the Aerosol Monitoring Systems

The United Nations, its Specialized Agencies, the International Atomic Energy Agency, any State not a Party to the Agreement, and the secretariats of international conventions concerned inter alia with the conservation, including protection and management, of migratory waterbirds may be represented by observers in sessions of the Meeting of the Parties.

The funds collected in this manner were to be spent in accordance with a special programme adopted by the then Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia. This programme contained certain elements (rehabilitation of thermal power plants; improvement of the quality of watercourses; implementation of the strategy for and operational programme of waste management; and protection of soil against pollution) which are of interest even today.

To this end the cooperation will concentrate, in particular, on economic and social development, human resources development, support for enterprises (including privatisation, investment and development of financial services), agriculture and food (including food security), energy (including hydro-electricity), water management and civil nuclear safety, health and the fight against poverty, transport, postal services, electronic communications, tourism, environmental protection, cross-border activities and regional cooperation.

By way of derogation from Article 14(c) and points 2, 3, 4 and 6 of Annex I of Directive 1999/31/EC and without prejudice to Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste fn, and Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste fn, the requirements relating to water control and leachate management, protection of soil and water, gas control and stability will not apply to municipal landfills in Poland until 1 July 2012, subject to the following intermediate targets:

(2) In the framework of the services cited in the preceding paragraph, tasks shall be undertaken deriving from the demands of environmental protection, water management, defence, transport and communication, agriculture and forestry, industry, construction, health, tourism, and other activities as well as tasks pertaining to safety and protection against harmful activities of meteorological and hydrological phenomena, to the meteorological safety of air and sea transport, to user prognoses, and to providing, recording, and exchanging information.

Article 33 offers different possibilities in this regard; e.g. under the eighth indent for agricultural water resources management, but in particular under the eleventh indent, which says that support can be provided for protection of the environment in connection with agriculture, forestry and landscape conservation as well as with the improvement of animal welfare.
