The representative stressed the importance of sharing knowledge and expertise in the areas of production methods, management techniques, export marketing and trade policy to the developing countries in terms of value added; and of the issue of transboundary pollution, calling upon the States to accede to and implement such relevant international instruments as the Helsinki Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents (1992) and the Basel Global Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes (1989).
Il faut par ailleurs éviter la pollution transfrontière en s'inspirant des conventions internationales telles que celles de Helsinki sur les effets transfrontières des accidents industriels (1992), et de Bâle sur le contrôle des mouvements transfrontières des déchets dangereux et de leur élimination (1989).
