Le Ministere de la protection de l'environnement de la Republique de Lituanie et le Comite sur les defis de la societe moderne (CDSM) de l'OTAN parrainent ensemble une etude pilote sur la protection des populations civiles contre les deversements de m

The Environmental Protection Ministry of the Republic of
Lithuania and the NATO Committee on the Challenges of
Modern Society (CCMS) are co-sponsoring a Pilot Study on
the Protection of Civil Populations from Toxic Material
Spills during Movements of Military Goods. Participants
will meet in Vilnius, Lithuania, October 17-19, 1995, to
consider international aspects of the transportation of
dangerous goods, focusing on compliance programmes in the
participating countries.The welcoming address will be
provided by Mr. Bronius Bradauskas, Minister of the
Environmental Protection of Lithuania. Speakers include
Pilot Study Director Dr. J. Read, Director General,
Transport of Dangerous Goods Directorate, Canada.

Since its creation in 1994, the Pilot Study is reviewing
the existing international recommendations on the
transportation of dangerous goods and assessing their
applicability toward military materials, including those
covered by the Convention on the Prohibition of the
Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical
Weapons and on their Destruction. The Study also
provides for an exchange of information on
safety programs among NATO and NACC countries.

Given the size of the international trade involving
dangerous goods, there is a strong need for the
harmonization of safety requirements and for a
minimum level of compliance by all countries. This
Conference will review possible enforcement schemes and
suggest the designation of a national compliance officer
in each country.

Representatives from Belarus, Canada, Czech Republic,
Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia and
Sweden will attend this meeting.

Yuksel-Beten, NATO/CCMS Programme Director, 1110 Brussels

COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE (95)96 10 October 1995

REUNION DU CDSM DE L'OTAN SUR LA PROTECTION DES
POPULATIONS CIVILES CONTRE LES DEVERSEMENTS DE
MATIERES TOXIQUES
SURVENANT AU COURS DU TRANSPORT DE PRODUITS
MILITAIRES - 17-19 octobre 1995

Le Ministere de la protection de l'environnement de la
Republique de Lituanie et le Comite sur les defis de la
societe moderne (CDSM) de l'OTAN parrainent ensemble une
etude pilote sur la protection des populations civiles
contre les deversements de matieres toxiques survenant au
cours du transport de produits militaires. Les
participants a cette etude se rencontreront a Vilnius, en
Lituanie, du 17 au 19 octobre 1995 pour examiner les
aspects internationaux du transport des marchandises
dangereuses, et en particulier les programmes d'execution
en cours dans les pays participants. L'allocution de
bienvenue sera prononcee par M. Bronius Bradauskas,
Ministre de la protection de l'environnement de Lituanie.
Parmi les orateurs figurera le directeur de l'etude
pilote, M. J. Read, qui dirige la Direction du transport
des marchandises dangereuses, au Canada.

Depuis le lancement de l'etude pilote en 1994, les
participants passent en revue les recommandations
internationales existantes en ce qui concerne le
transport des marchandises dangereuses et evaluent dans
quelle mesure elles peuvent s'appliquer aux produits
militaires, y compris ceux couverts par la Convention sur
l'interdiction de la mise au point, de la fabrication, du
stockage et de l'emploi des armes chimiques et sur leur
destruction. L'etude permet aussi aux pays de l'OTAN
et du CCNA d'echanger des informations sur les programmes
de securite.

Compte tenu du volume des echanges internationaux qui
portent sur des marchandises dangereuses, il est
indispensable que les exigences de securite soient
harmonisees et que tous les pays atteignent un niveau
minimal d'execution.
Les participants a cette conference examineront les
systemes de controle qui pourraient etre utilises, et
proposeront de designer dans chaque pays un
responsable national des questions d'execution.

Des representants du Belarus, du Canada, de la Republique
tcheque, de l'Estonie, de l'Allemagne, de la Lettonie, de
la Lituanie, de la Roumanie, de la Russie et de
la Suede participeront a cette reunion.

Pour de plus amples informations, priere de s'adresser a
Mme Deniz Yuksel-Beten, Directrice du programme CDSM de
l'OTAN, 1110 Bruxelles (telephone :
