H. whereas Amnesty International has adopted Mr Pasko as a prisoner of conscience and has said that his prosecution appears to be 'motivated by political reprisal for exposing the practice of dumping nuclear waste' in the Russian Far East,

Waters are also under potential severe threats resulting from human activities. Industrial and agricultural activities imply the use of chemicals, which often end up in surface and ground waters, following their immediate release or after a long storage in inappropriate conditions. In the developing world most of the wastes is discharged directly into rivers, lakes and coastal waters without any kind of treatment. The ongoing decrease of water quality has severe implications not only for resource availability and human health but also for vital eco-systems.

The exploitation of nuclear fission energy for energy production is now encountering the problem of waste, and more particularly the individual implementation of technical solutions for the management of long-lived waste.

This has contributed to the Community's industrial development, which today has mastery of the entire nuclear fuel cycle, with the exception of waste management.

dangerous industrial facilities such as oil refineries, nuclear fuel or nuclear waste treatment facilities, integrated chemical installations.
