Exercise 12.Read the article and prepare to discuss the Customs’ role in combating environmental crime using the words in bold. For further information, go to http://www.wcoomd.org/en/topics/enforcement-and-compliance/activities-and-programmes/ep_environmental

Pollutionof air, water, land, or destruction of endangered species poses ruinous threat to the sustainable development and the health of human beings. Environmental crime is a serious and growing international problem.

Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) are international or regional agreements to take specific measures for the protection of the environment and the conversation of natural resources. The main MEAs with international trade-related provisions are: the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Depletethe Ozone Layer (ODS); the Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal; the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutions (POPs); the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade and the Cartagena Protocol on Bio-safety.

Customs plays a very important role in the implementation of those MEAs and the fight against environmental crime. The World Customs Organization (WCO) has committed itself to the fight against environmental crime. In response to its Members’ need, the WCO has developed an environment programme on the control of MEAs related trade and the combating of environmental crime. The WCO makes use of different international agreements to raise the awareness of its Members on environmental issues.
