General considerations in making national environment protection measures
15 General considerations in making national environment protection measures
In making any national environment protection measure, the Council must have regard to:
whether the measure is consistent with section 3 of the Agreement; and
the environmental, economic and social impact of the measure; and
the simplicity, efficiency and effectiveness of the administration of the measure; and
whether the most effective means of achieving the desired environmental outcomes of the measure is by means of a national environment protection standard, goal or guideline or any particular combination thereof; and
the relationship of the measure to existing inter‑governmental mechanisms; and
relevant international agreements to which Australia is a party; and
any regional environmental differences in Australia.
