[en] The suggestion made here aims at defining a joint field of action within which rules about dumping of waste in the sea are to be applied. The term 'dumping' is defined and the member states are imposed on to take proper measures to prevent or reduce the sea pollution caused by the dumping of waste by ships or aircrafts. The guide line distinguishes between three categories of waste; highly dangerous substances the dumping of which is prohibited as a general principle (encl. I) and other dangerous waste and substances the dumping of which is only possible under special permittance by the competent national authorities (encl. II). The suggestion also establishes that the dumping of all other waste material needs a preceding general permittance by the component authorities. The member states are empowered to deviate from the terms of this guide line if this is made necessary by seriously momentous circumstances. So the application of the guide line is given a certain flexibility. Refering to emergency cases, which might be caused by dumping waste, principles of cooperation were established. (orig./HP)
