Difficulties in measuring trade arise from the lack of an agreed definition of environmental goods, incomplete trade data, limitations in the Harmonised System(HS) nomenclature for the classification of environmental goods and the fact that many environmental goods have multiple end-uses, only one of which may be environmental... 2, record 1, English, - environmental%20good

It should be noted that the meaning of the designation is not fixed. For some organizations, "environmental good" refers to a product that is used to preserve the environment, while for others, it refers to a product that has a lesser negative impact on the environment. Some organizations also prefer to merge the two definitions. 3, record 1, English, - environmental%20good

Des politiques environnementales rigoureuses sont compatibles avec un régime commercial ouvert, car elles créent des débouchés pour des biens environnementaux qui peuvent être ensuite exportés vers des pays devenus à leur tour plus respectueux des normes environnementales – l'avantage du précurseur. C'est particulièrement vrai dans le cas des technologies complexes comme celles des énergies renouvelables. 2, record 1, French, - bien%20environnemental

À noter que le sens de la désignation est flottant. Pour certains organismes, «bien environnemental» désigne un produit servant à préserver l'environnement alors que pour d'autres, il désigne un produit dont les répercussions négatives sur l'environnement sont moindres. Certains organismes préfèrent fusionner ces deux définitions. 3, record 1, French, - bien%20environnemental

Since 1991 the North Sea countries(UK, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark) have put a lot of effort in the development of a decision support system for the legislation of the use and discharge of offshore exploration, drilling and production chemicals. The heart of this so-called harmonised mandatory control system is the chemical hazard assessment and risk management(CHARM) model. 5, record 3, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system

One of the most proactive areas in environmental regulation is the North East Atlantic -- primarily Norway and the European Union. Within this region, the Oslo-Paris Commission (OSPARCOM) was inaugurated in 1992 and ratified in 1998. The OSPARCOM mainly focuses on protection of the marine aquatic environment. ... To help evaluate chemicals for offshore use, the Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF) was introduced in 1995. ... In 2001, the Harmonized Mandatory Control System (HMCS) was implemented primarily to maintain at least a baseline of rigor for the move to more environmentally responsible chemicals. 2, record 3, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system

By November 2001, the OSPAR Decision on the Harmonised Mandatory Control Scheme (HMCS) should have been in force and operating for nearly a year. The objective of the HMCS is to protect the marine environment by identifying those chemicals used in offshore oil and gas operations with the potential for causing an adverse environmental impact and restricting their use and discharge to the sea. 4, record 3, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system
