For the purposes of paragraphs 1 to 3 above, the terms waste, disposal, and environmentally sound shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the use of those terms under the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.

To ensure that the transboundary movement of the substances listed in annex I is conducted in an environmentally sound manner, taking into consideration applicable subregional, regional, and global regimes governing the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes, in particular the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;

For substances listed in annex I, II, or III, each Party should develop appropriate strategies for identifying articles still in use and wastes containing such substances, and shall take appropriate measures to ensure that such wastes and such articles, upon becoming wastes, are destroyed or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

To ensure that, when the substances listed in annex I are destroyed or disposed of, such destruction or disposal is undertaken in an environmentally sound manner, taking into account relevant subregional, regional and global regimes governing the management of hazardous wastes and their disposal, in particular the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;

Recognizing the importance of developing and using environmentally sound alternative processes and chemicals,

a) to take, without delay, all necessary measures to ensure the safety of railway traffic, respect for the environment and public health and

(1) If significant or destructive effects of the plan or an activity affecting the environment foreseen by the plan are identified, it shall be verified whether by appropriate mitigating measures they can be prevented, mitigated or eliminated to such an extent that the environmental effects of implementation of the plan become acceptable.

3.2.1 To the extent a relevant instrument is not applicable to a ship below convention size, the port State control officer's task will be to assess whether the ship is of an acceptable standard in regard to safety, health or the environment.

(3) If the sub-assessments under the first paragraph of the preceding Article for any consequence of the plan under the second paragraph of the preceding Article are classified in size categories D or E, the effects of the implementation of the plan on the realisation of the environmental objectives of the plan are not acceptable.

(2) If the sub-assessments under the first paragraph of the preceding Article for any consequence of the plan under the second paragraph of the preceding Article are classified in size categories A, B or C, the effects of the implementation of the plan on the realisation of the environmental objectives of the plan are acceptable.

6 An admission of a type of construction may be withdrawn when safety, public health or respect for the environment are no longer assured with the circulation of railway vehicles which have been or are to be built in conformity with that type of construction.

(3) In the second stage of the global assessment procedure the effects of the implementation of the plan are identified and their acceptability for the environment assessed; this includes assessment of possible alternatives and, in the case of anticipated significant or destructive effects being identified, assessment of appropriate mitigating measures.

Any Party that has a specific exemption in accordance with Annex A or a specific exemption or an acceptable purpose in accordance with Annex B shall take appropriate measures to ensure that any production or use under such exemption or purpose is carried out in a manner that prevents or minimizes human exposure and release into the environment.

Encourage the use of economically feasible, environmentally sound management techniques, including best environmental practices, with respect to all aspects of the use, production, release, processing, distribution, handling, transport and reprocessing of substances subject to the present Protocol and manufactured articles, mixtures or solutions containing such substances;

The Borrower undertakes to engage a consultant, of international repute, familiar with the relevant regulations of and their implementation within the EU, satisfactory to the Bank for monitoring the progress of the Project with particular emphasis on, but not limited to, environmental, radiation and geotechnical issues, and cost-effectiveness, as well as the Project's compliance with the relevant EU standards (herein referred to as ` EU-Consultant` ).

The Parties undertake, as mutually agreed and in accordance with their respective national legislation and/or policies, to promote, finance and/or facilitate the financing of the transfer, acquisition, adaptation and development of environmentally sound, economically viable and socially acceptable technologies relevant to combating desertification and/or mitigating the effects of drought, with a view to contributing to the achievement of sustainable development in affected areas.

The objective of this Convention is to promote shared responsibility and cooperative efforts among Parties in the international trade of certain hazardous chemicals in order to protect human health and the environment from potential harm and to contribute to their environmentally sound use, by facilitating information exchange about their characteristics, by providing for a national decision-making process on their import and export and by disseminating these decisions to Parties.

7.3.2. A danger to the environment is an excessive risk which in view of the high degree of probability of an event happening or the extent of possible damage is no longer acceptable, except through the fulfillment of particularly exacting security measures.

(1) To realize the principle of prevention and to assess the compatibility of an envisaged activity with technical and other regulations and environmental characteristics of the location, an environmental impact assessment shall be carried out to determine the acceptability of the intended activity relative to its direct and indirect long and short term effects on the environment.

In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is both as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers.

In the case of cereals and products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels should reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is both as low as practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the protection of the health of consumers in terms of estimated dietary intake of consumers.

DESIRING to facilitate the achievement of controlled nuclear fusion energy as an environmentally acceptable, economically competitive, and virtually limitless source of energy;

DESIRING to facilitate the achievement of fusion energy as a potentially environmentally acceptable, economically competitive, and virtually limitless source of energy;

the development of environmentally sound water-construction works and water-regulation techniques;

development and transfer of environmentally sound waste recycling and treatment technology;

Uses other than seed treatments are currently not adequately supported prove their acceptability for consumers, operators and the environment will have to be generated and submitted to the Member States.

the continuing need to extend basic services in water, sanitation, and transport to both urban and rural populations must be addressed in environmentally sustainable ways.

Oil-based drilling muds and cuttings arising from the use of oil-based drilling muds should not be discharged in the Baltic Sea area but taken ashore for final treatment or disposal in an environmentally acceptable manner.

The degree of risk and application of control measures to reduce that risk from the GMM to an appropriate level will be influenced by the nature of the activities to be undertaken, since these will affect human and environmental exposure and hence possibility of harm occurring.

This should enable a verification of whether the risk-mitigation measures imposed by Member States really limit the possible risks for operators and hares to an acceptable level, and, if appropriate, a re-evaluation, in line with scientific progress, of the properties and potentially related risks to humans and the environment.

The first amendment to that Regulation provides for the possibility of establishing time-frames for reducing the use of halon for critical uses, taking into account the availability of technically and economically feasible alternatives or technologies that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health, when reviewing Annex VII to that Regulation.

Whereas, for cereals and products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables, maximum residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable, in particular in view of the protection of the environment and in terms of estimated dietary intake;

Each year the Commission shall review the critical uses listed in Annex VII and, if necessary, adopt modifications and, where appropriate, time-frames for phase-out, taking into account the availability of both technically and economically feasible alternatives or technologies that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2).";

Without prejudice to the Community rules concerning water protection and management, and in particular those concerning pollution of the aquatic environment, fishery products must not contain in their edible parts contaminants present in the aquatic environment such as heavy metals and organochlorinated substances at such a level that the calculated dietary intake exceeds the acceptable daily or weekly intake for humans.

(1) In the case of products of plant origin including fruit and vegetables, residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides necessary to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is as low as is practicable and toxicologically acceptable, having regard, in particular to the protection of the environment and the estimated dietary intake of consumers.

(8) The report on iprodione and further information were also submitted to the Scientific Committee on Plants for separate consultation. The Scientific Committee was asked to comment on the predicted environmental concentrations in soil and groundwater, and on the acceptable operator exposure level proposed by the rapporteur. In its opinion, the Committee agreed that sufficient information was available to reliably estimate the leaching behaviour of the substance for soils with pH above 6. However, the assessment of leaching in soils with pH below 6 deser ves further attention, since, for soils with pH below 6, leaching at concentration levels exceeding 0,1 μg/l may occur in some realistic vulnerable situations. The Committee saw no need to use an additional safety factor for the derivation of the acceptabl e operator exposure level. The observations of the Scientific Committee were taken into account in this Directive and the review report.

For the purposes of paragraphs 1 to 3, the terms waste, disposal, and environmentally sound shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the use of those terms under the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal.

to ensure that the transboundary movement of the substances listed in annex I is conducted in an environmentally sound manner, taking into consideration applicable subregional, regional, and global regimes governing the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes, in particular the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;

If so, which are the appropriate risk mitigation measures to reduce the risk to the environment to an acceptable level?

to ensure that, when the substances listed in Annex I are destroyed or disposed of, such destruction or disposal is undertaken in an environmentally sound manner, taking into account relevant subregional, regional and global regimes governing the management of hazardous wastes and their disposal, in particular the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;

The means of disposal proposed should be without unacceptable influence on the environment and be the most cost effective and practical means of disposal feasible.

Comparison of the PEC and PNEC indicates that the risk to any biota in groundwater is acceptable.

If the reduction of inputs resulting from the use of best environmental practice does not lead to environmentally acceptable results, additional measures have to be applied and best environmental practice redefined."

fees may be reduced if the ship's environmental management, design, equipment and operation are such that the master of the ship can demonstrate that it produces reduced quantities of ship-generated waste.

Whereas, in order to prevent threats to the environment, it is necessary to introduce a uniform waste acceptance procedure on the basis of a classification procedure for waste acceptable in the different categories of landfill, including in particular standardised limit values;

Whereas the European Communities' 1973 (4), 1977 (5), 1983 (6) and 1987 (7) action programmes on the environment put the accent on harmonization of the action taken to protect the environment and on the need to reduce the concentrations of the principal pollutants in the air to levels considered acceptable for protecting sensitive ecosystems;

The replacement of halon fire-fighting equipment with alternative fire protection agents needs to take into account the availability of technically and economically feasible alternatives or technologies that are acceptable from the point of view of environment and health.

However, where it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that for an individual installation this value is not technically and economically feasible, the competent authority can make an exception for such an individual installation provided that significant risks to human health or the environment are not to be expected.

shall be recovered for destruction by technologies approved by the Parties or by any other environmentally acceptable destruction technology, or for recycling or reclamation during the servicing and maintenance of equipment or before the dismantling or disposal of equipment.
