Progress Report on REMPEC's Activities Since 7Th Meeting Of 8th Meeting of Focal Points of the REMPEC/WG.28/4 Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response 02 April 2007 Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) Malta, 7-11 May 2007 Original: English Agenda Item 4 PROGRESS REPORT ON REMPEC’S ACTIVITIES SINCE THE 7TH MEETING OF REMPEC FOCAL POINTS Note by the Secretariat Introduction 1. This document aims at providing an overview of the activities carried out by the Centre since the 7th Meeting of REMPEC Focal Points held in April 2005 and to highlight developments related to the administration of the Centre that took place during the same period. Status of ratification of the 2002 Prevention and Emergency Protocol 2. During the period under review, Greece ratified the 2002 Prevention and Emergency Protocol to the Barcelona Convention and this Protocol has now been ratified by eight Contracting Parties. The status of ratifications of the 2002 Prevention and Emergency Protocol at the time of writing this document is provided in Annex I to the present document. Activities carried out since the 7th Meeting of REMPEC Focal Points 3. In line with the objectives and functions of the Centre adopted in 2001 by the 12th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties held in Monaco (UNEP (DEC)/MED IG.13/8, Annex IV, Appendix 1), the activities of the Centre since the last Meeting of REMPEC Focal Points continued to focus on prevention of, preparedness for and response to marine pollution from ships. These activities included those agreed upon by the 14th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties (UNEP (DEPI)/MED IG. 16/13) and financed by the Mediterranean Trust Fund (MTF) as well as those carried out by REMPEC within the framework of externally funded projects and programmes. In implementing its activities, the Centre has taken into account the recommendations approved by the last Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties and the objectives contained in the Regional Strategy for Prevention of and Response to Marine Pollution from Ships, approved by the said Meeting of Contracting Parties. REMPEC/WG.28/4 Page 2 4. It should be pointed out that the implementation of the large number of activities carried out by REMPEC within the framework of its MTF programme of activities and externally funded projects and programmes, would not have been possible without additional contributions of the Contracting Parties and financial provisions of externally funded projects which enabled the reinforcement of the personnel of the Centre. Assistance to countries in the field of preparedness for and response to accidental marine pollution Contingency Planning 5. On 20th June 2005, the Agreement concerning the Sub-Regional Contingency Plan for Preparedness and Response to Accidental Marine Pollution in the South- Western Mediterranean was concluded and signed in Algiers by Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. The Centre has assisted in the development of this plan and corresponding agreement through financial support provided by IMO’s Integrated Technical Co-operation Programme (ITCP) which supplemented REMPEC’s own resources. The First Meeting of National Operational Authorities was held on 21 June 2005 whilst the Second Meeting took place in Rabat, Morocco between 23 - 24 January 2007. During the Second Meeting, the level of implementation of the Agreement was reviewed and some common activities were planned. In June 2006, Algeria organized a two-day exercise within the framework of the Sub- Regional Agreement. 6. On 9 November 2005, at the time of the 14th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention, Croatia, Italy and Slovenia signed the Agreement on the Sub- Regional Contingency Plan for Prevention of, Preparedness for and Response to Major Marine Pollution Incidents in the Adriatic Sea, which was prepared with the technical assistance and support of REMPEC. 7. On the 20 November 2006, REMPEC participated in a National Meeting in Bar, Montenegro, which agenda included the discussion on the draft National Contingency Plan being prepared within the framework of the programme “Development of national capacities of Serbia-Montenegro for prevention of, preparedness for and response to marine pollution from ships” (vide paragraph 9). Training Activities 8. Since the 7th Meeting of REMPEC Focal Points, participants from all the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention participated in various training events organized by the Centre in the field of preparedness for and response to accidental marine pollution. During this period, REMPEC organized the following training activities in this field: • Regional Seminar on the Use of Remote Sensing in Oil Pollution Control (MEDEXPOL 2005), Nicosia, Cyprus, 17-20 October 2005 (45 participants from 17 Contracting Parties attended); • Sub-Regional Training Course on Preparedness for and Response to Accidental Marine Pollution for On-scene Commanders and/or Supervisors from the Arabic speaking Mediterranean coastal States, Alexandria, Egypt, 3 - 7 July 2005. (22 participants from 6 Arab speaking Contracting Parties attended this training course which was delivered in the Arabic language); REMPEC/WG.28/4 Page 3 • Sub-Regional Training Course on Preparedness for and Response to Accidental Marine Pollution for Government Administrators and Senior Managers (IMO OPRC Level III), Casablanca, Morocco, 20 – 22 March 2007 (14 participants from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia attended this training course which was delivered in the French language); • National Seminar on Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, Lattakia, Syria, 31 October -1 November 2005 (26 representatives of relevant Ministries/Departments attended); • National Awareness Workshop on Prevention of, Preparedness for and Response to Marine Pollution Emergencies, Tripoli, Libya, 23 November 2005 (25 representatives of relevant Ministries/Departments attended); • National Training Course on Preparedness and Response to Marine Pollution for Government Administrators and Senior Managers, Bar, Montenegro, 21 – 23 November 2006 (25 representatives of relevant Ministries/Departments attended); • National Training Course on Preparedness and Response to Marine Pollution, Dürres, Albania, 13 – 15 December 2006 (25 representatives of relevant Ministries/Departments attended). 9. A comprehensive programme entitled “Development of national capacities of Serbia- Montenegro for prevention of, preparedness for and response to marine pollution from ships” was prepared in the second half of 2005 in order to assist Montenegro to enhance its capacities in the fields of prevention of and preparedness for and response to marine pollution. A Memorandum of Understanding for the implementation of part of the programme, financed through MTF, was signed at the end of 2005 and its implementation started in 2006 (vide paragraphs 7, 19, 21, 25 and 31). Due to the major political changes that have recently taken place, the implementation of the programme was delayed and the Memorandum was extended. Exercises 10. In December 2006, within the framework of the European Chemical Industry’s Responsible Care Programme (ICE), the Centre, together with CEFIC, organized a communication exercise (sophisticated test) between the Hellenic Coastguard and BASF. 11. During the period under review, the Centre also took part in an alert and communication exercise organized by the competent national authorities of Algeria (April 2005), Israel (September 2005) and Morocco (June 2006). Moreover, REMPEC also participated in the following exercises: • International Spill Response Exercises and Round Table “Mediterranean 2005” organised by the competent national authorities of Spain (Spain, 11 – 12 May 2005); • POLLUX 2006 Exercise organised within the framework of the RAMOGE Agreement (France, 16 – 18 May 2006); • Joint Oil Spill Response Exercise OB SR 2006 organised by the competent national authorities of Algeria within the framework of the South Western Mediterranean Sub- Regional Contingency Plan (Algeria, 20 -21 June 2006). REMPEC/WG.28/4 Page 4 Mediterranean Assistance Unit (MAU) 12. The three Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with CEDRE, ICRAM, and FEDERCHIMICA for the participation of these organizations in the MAU have all been renewed for a further period of two years. 13. For the first time since the M/V “NASSIA” incident in March 1994, the Centre officially activated the MAU following a request received on the 6 August 2006 from the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic, whose southern shoreline was affected by oil slicks. Mr Ezio Amato, an expert from ICRAM, was deployed under the MAU for an assessment mission in Syria between 8 – 11 August 2006 (vide REMPEC/WG.28/9/2). Assistance to countries in case of emergency 14. Following a request received from Libyan Authorities, the Director and the Senior Programme Officer (OPRC) visited the GSP Libyan Arab Jamahiriya between 7 – 8 March 2006 to provide technical advice to the competent Libyan Authorities following a spill in the port of Misurata. 15. As extensively reported in document REMPEC/WG.28/9/2, during the second half of 2006, the Centre was heavily involved in the response to the marine pollution incident that took place in the Eastern Mediterranean. In particular, in close co-operation with the competent national authorities in the region, REMPEC co-ordinated, at the regional level, the response operations to the oil spill that occurred in Lebanon.

It is quite possible that some of these names might return to the Korean peninsula in 2011, but for sure we will see many more athletes of their calibre bidding for world medals. Now we are at the 13th edition of our World Championships. With each staging, a book such as this becomes more important. There are ever more results and associated statistics to cram into a book which must be handy for those to carry to and from Daegu Stadium for each day of action. It is sad that the 12 books which preceded this are not much use now, because even some of the things we would not have expected to change have had to be revised due to dop- ing revelations and fluctuation in the way certain names are spelt.
