| Description | The objective of the project is to overcome the current barriers, which impede implementation of the PCB-related obligations of the Stockholm Convention in Uruguay. The MSP foresees the strengthening of an environmentally sound management (ESM) system of PCBs based on a consensus between relevant government authorities, the private and public sectors and NGOs. Special emphasis will be given to partnering with owners of PCB for phasing out PCB equipment. The project will create a sound environment for all PCB-related activities. The aim is that all activities should be undertaken in a controlled and coordinated manner by protecting human health and the environment from the harmful effects of PCBs. |
