OSPAR is the mechanism by which fifteen governments of the western coasts and catchments of Europe, together with the European Union, cooperate to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic. It started in 1972 with the Oslo Convention against dumping. It was broadened to cover land-based sources and the offshore industry by the Paris Convention of 1974. These two conventions were unified, up-dated and extended by the 1992 OSPAR Convention. ... The fifteen governments are Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germay, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Finland [is not included but was] historically ... involved ... Luxembourg and Switzerland are Contracting Parties due to their location within the catchments of the River Rhine. 1, record 4, English, - OSPAR%20Commission

OSPAR est le mécanisme par lequel quinze gouvernements des côtes et îles occidentales d’Europe, avec l'Union européenne, coopèrent pour protéger l'environnement marin de l'Atlantique du Nord-Est. Cette coopération a débuté en 1972 avec la Convention d’Oslo sur les immersions. Son champ a été étendu aux pollutions d’origine tellurique et à l'industrie pétrolière par la Convention de Paris en 1974. Enfin, ces deux conventions ont été unifiées, mises à jour et étendues par la Convention OSPAR en 1992. La nouvelle annexe sur la biodiversité et les écosystèmes a été adoptée en 1998 pour couvrir les activités humaines non-polluantes qui peuvent avoir un effet négatif sur la mer. 1, record 4, French, - Commission%20OSPAR

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 5, 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 5, 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 5, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system
