5.5.2(1)
Although this convention does not deal specifically with waste management, the Waste Act will be used to declare chemicals controlled under the convention as priority wastes for ease of control.  A National Implementation Plan has been under development for some time and DEA will expedite the finalisation and publication of this plan.  DEA will also prepare a phase out plan for substances controlled under this protocol.
