Concepts such as best available technologies not entailing excessive cost, critical load, emission quotas and strict omission standards should be made use of, where appropriate, based on scientific foundations recognizing the limitations of science. Measures for the standardization of monitoring and analytical procedures for the abatement of pollution from industrial processes and products should be developed. Further work should be encouraged on the practicability of these concepts and measures as a means for curtailing emissions. (b) Environmental policies should be co-ordinated and make use of carefully planned economic instruments to avoid undesirable competitive effects of less stringent environmental requirements in some countries. Industry should be · encouraged to apply standards of environmental responsibility to their foreign operations which are as high as that used in their home country, or higher if circumstances warrant. The International Chamber of Commerce will consider the establishment of environmental guidelines which would discourage industries from relocating to countries with lower environmental standards solely to avoid pollution control. (c) The ECE should be encouraged to study and elaborate measures promoting the transfer of technology supporting sustainable development including suport to monitor the state of the environment. In addition, the ECE should co-ordinate a network which would facilitate better access to existing technology data banks taking into account the work of relevant international organizations. (d) Member States of the ECE should be encouraged to review existing procedures to identify possibilities for administrative reforms which could lead to more efficient permitting procedures. Governments should also adopt a longer view and aim for more stability in regulations which would aid long-term business planning. Mechanisms and consultation and co-operation between management and labour should be strengthened with the view to preventing industrial accidents and hazards, many of which could have adverse impacts on the environment.
