This provision is aimed at prohibiting the dumping and unnecessary long-distance transport of mercury and mercury compounds, but allowing for export to countries of a high-level mercury waste management capacity.
Namen te določbe je prepovedati damping in nepotreben prevoz živega srebra in živosrebrovih spojin na velike razdalje, vendar dovoliti izvoz v države z zmogljivostmi za ravnanje z odpadki z živim srebrom na visoki ravni.
