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 1, 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 1, French, - Commission%20OSPAR

GHG [greenhouse gas] reduction or limitation targets are prescribed for 38 developed countries and for the European Community as a whole. ... In total, the achievement of these targets was expected to lead to at least a 5 per cent reduction in annual GHG emissions for these 39 Parties taken together on average during the first commitment period from 2008 to 2012. The 15 member States of the European Community (prior to the EU expansion to 25 states in May 2004) agreed to redistribute their reduction targets among themselves, forming the so-called "EU bubble". 1, record 3, English, - EU%20bubble

Les objectifs de réduction ou de limitation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, qui figurent à l'annexe B du Protocole, concernent 38 pays industrialisés et la Communauté européenne dans son ensemble. Le but global est de diminuer d’au moins 5 pour cent les émissions totales annuelles de gaz à effet de serre produites par l'ensemble des 39 Parties, en moyenne, pendant la première période d’engagement(2008-2012). Les quinze États membres de la Communauté européenne(avant l'élargissement à 25 survenu en mai 2004) ont accepté de redistribuer leurs engagements de réduction entre eux, formant ce que l'on appelle la «bulle de l'Union européenne». 1, record 3, French, - bulle%20de%20l%27Union%20europ%C3%A9enne

De l'angoisse suscitée il y a quinze ans par le «dépérissement des forêts» est né un dispositif coordonné et structuré de surveillance de l'état de santé des forêts : plus de 30 pays y participent sous la double tutelle de la Commission européenne(CE) et de la Commission économique pour l'Europe des Nations Unies(CEE-ONU) en concentrant leurs efforts sur deux réseaux, l'un systématique à maille carrée 16 x 16 km, l'autre constitué de placettes intensives. Ce dispositif vise une connaissance objective de l'état des forêts et de son évolution, et l'identification des facteurs de dommages, parmi lesquels la pollution atmosphérique, préoccupation centrale de deux programmes internationaux, le «Schéma de l'Union européenne pour la protection des forêts contre la pollution atmosphérique» et le «Programme international concerté sur l'évaluation et la surveillance des effets de la pollution atmosphérique sur les forêts»(PIC-Forêts) qui a pour cadre la Convention sur la pollution atmosphérique transfrontière [sic : transfrontalière] à longue distance(Convention de Genève). 9, record 4, French, - Programme%20de%20coop%C3%A9ration%20internationale%20pour%20l%27%C3%A9valuation%20et%20la%20surveillance%20des%20effets%20des%20polluants%20atmosph%C3%A9riques%20sur%20les%20for%C3%AAts
