A list of priority substances (PS) at EU level is provided under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) for coastal and territorial waters. EU Member States may also identify in their coastal waters substances of national or local concern (River Basin Specific Pollutants, RBSP). The MSFD provisions foresee the consid- eration of contaminants that are not covered by the WFD, but entail a significant risk to, or via, the marine environment. A close collaboration with Regional Sea Conventions is crucial, as contaminants cross national and EU borders. Chemical substances occurring in the marine environment might derive from specific sea- based sources, such as shipping, mariculture, offshore oil and gas production, marine re- newable energy devices, seabed mining, dredging of sediments, dumping of dredged ma- terial and historical dumping. This report consists of a scientific review of the literature to compile a list of marine specific contaminants potentially entering the marine environment from these sea-based sources. It also provides an overview of the environmental policy instruments and frameworks in place to oversee and regulate these substances within the EU. The resulting list should support Member States in setting-up of monitoring approaches, including hotspots screening, and therefore, help guide the selection of relevant sub- stances for MSFD Descriptor 8 implementation and also contribute to the work done in RSCs. 1 1 INTRODUCTION The Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC1) sets out the framework for the pro- tection of surface waters against chemical pollution. The first step was to establish a first list of of substances of European Union (EU)-wide concern (the priority substances, PS) as a means to assess the chemical status of water bodies up to 12 nautical miles from the straightened coastline (Decision 2455/2001). This first list was replaced by the Directive on Environmental Quality Standards (EQSD, 2008/105/EC2), which sets environmental quality standards (EQS) for these substances as well as for eight other pollutants already regulated under the scope of the Directive 86/280/EEC3. The WFD requires the Commis- sion to review periodically the list, and in 2012 it put forward a proposal for a Directive amending the WFD and the EQSD as regards to PS (Directive 2013/39/EU4). The next WFD priority substances review is currently ongoing and completion is expected by 2016. In addition, the WFD requires the selection by Member States of substances of national or local concern (river basin specific pollutants, RBSP), which form part of the quality ele- ments for "good ecological status” up to 1 nautical mile. The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC5) aims to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) for Europe's marine waters by 2020. It completes the cover- age of marine waters by provisions for substance selection in the areas covered by Euro- pean legislation (fig. 1). The input of contaminants into the marine environment is con- sidered under MSFD Descriptor 8 “Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects” as one of the anthropogenic pressures which needs to be assessed by EU Member States. According to MSFD requirements (Commission Decision 2010/477/EU6), Member States have to take into consideration the relevant provisions of the WFD in territorial and/or coastal waters to ensure proper coordination of the imple- mentation of the two legal frameworks. Moreover, Member States have to consider also substances or groups of substances which are not listed as PS or RBSP but may entail significant risks to the marine environment. Hence, Member States should have also re- gard to the information and knowledge gathered and approaches developed in Regional 1 Directive 2000/60/EC of the European parliament and of the council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy. http://eur- lex.europa.eu/resource.html?uri=cellar:5c835afb-2ec6-4577-bdf8- 756d3d694eeb.0004.02/DOC_1&format=PDF 2 Directive 2008/105/EC of the European parliament and of the council of 16 December 2008 on environmental quality standards in the field

  • 4. Embedding Human Rights Mechanisms Within Shell Headquarters
    4. Embedding within Shell Headquarters 4. Embedding human rights mechanisms within Shell Headquarters This first empirical chapter describes and analyses the process of embedding (implementation and internalisation) of the human rights mechanisms within the Headquarters of Shell1. This way, an answer is provided to the first research question (identifying the mechanisms of embedding human rights) by providing an analysis about the mechanisms through which Shell Headquarters embeds human rights in its policies and procedures. In addition, the degree of implementation and internalisation of human rights is also determined at Shell Headquarters level (second research question). Finally, by describing the process of implementation and internalisation, this chapter also provides more insight in explaining the degree of implementation and internalisation of these human rights mechanisms within Shell Headquarters (third research question). The chapter starts with explaining the use of data (section 4.1), after which the overall policy and objectives of the company (section 4.2) and the company’s approaches to embed human rights (section 4.3). Section 4.4 will introduce the Shell Group’s management system, after which sections 4.5 to 4.10 will then analyse how human rights is embedded according to Shell’s spheres of influence: employees (section 4.5), contractors (section 4.6), security forces (section 4.7), communities (section 4.8), government (section 4.9) and the international society (section 4.10). Section 4.11 continues the analysis with determining the degree of internalisation of human rights in Shell Headquarters. The chapter ends with a short summary and initial conclusion in section 4.12.

No need for journal write up on content of midterm case session and the last session. One take-home final due last session. Welcome to the elective course in Power & Politics! Course Theme Politics is not a dirty word! We just got to learn how to play good politics and keep out bad politics. By the same logic, power by itself does not necessarily corrupt though absolute power may corrupt absolutely. In other words, this course is about how to conquer the world, or at least survive the corporate jungle, without losing our soul. Even if you don’t want to play politics, good or bad, you still need the skills from this course to ensure that you don’t become a victim of politics. Course Objectives • Understanding what power is: People often have a misperception of what power, the basis of political behavior, really means. By the end of this course you should be able to have not only a conceptual understanding of what power is within an organizational context but a practical grasp of what the actual sources of power are.

  • BUTADIENE AS a CHEMICAL RAW MATERIAL (September 1998)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 35D BUTADIENE AS A CHEMICAL RAW MATERIAL (September 1998) The dominant technology for producing butadiene (BD) is the cracking of naphtha to pro- duce ethylene. BD is obtained as a coproduct. As the growth of ethylene production outpaced the growth of BD demand, an oversupply of BD has been created. This situation provides the incen- tive for developing technologies with BD as the starting material. The objective of this report is to evaluate the economics of BD-based routes and to compare the economics with those of cur- rently commercial technologies. In addition, this report addresses commercial aspects of the butadiene industry such as supply/demand, BD surplus, price projections, pricing history, and BD value in nonchemical applications. We present process economics for two technologies: • Cyclodimerization of BD leading to ethylbenzene (DSM-Chiyoda) • Hydrocyanation of BD leading to caprolactam (BASF). Furthermore, we present updated economics for technologies evaluated earlier by PEP: • Cyclodimerization of BD leading to styrene (Dow) • Carboalkoxylation of BD leading to caprolactam and to adipic acid • Hydrocyanation of BD leading to hexamethylenediamine. We also present a comparison of the DSM-Chiyoda and Dow technologies for producing sty- rene. The Dow technology produces styrene directly and is limited in terms of capacity by the BD available from a world-scale naphtha cracker. The 250 million lb/yr (113,000 t/yr) capacity se- lected for the Dow technology requires the BD output of two world-scale naphtha crackers. The DSM-Chiyoda technology produces ethylbenzene. In our evaluations, we assumed a scheme whereby ethylbenzene from a 266 million lb/yr (121,000 t/yr) DSM-Chiyoda unit is combined with 798 million lb/yr (362,000 t/yr) of ethylbenzene produced by conventional alkylation of benzene with ethylene.
