✦ Synopsis
Increased international cooperation to limit transboundary and global environmental problems, increased sectoral responsibility and decentralization, and improved information and statistics on the state of the environment are the main lines for the development of future environmental policy. For lakes, watercourses, and the seas the overall objective is to maintain viable, balanced populations of naturally occurring species. Pollution is not to limit the use of water for fishing, recreation, or water supply. Foreign species or organisms subjected to genetic mutation are only to be introduced with great restriction. Measures are suggested that will reduce environmental disturbances from agriculture and forestry, traffic, energy production, industry, goods, chemical products, and waste.
