Recognizing. The value of migrations as a dynamic factor of integration and knowledge among the peoples PERSUADED: That civil society must play a relevant role in binational integration; DECIDED: To expand and deepen the bonds of cooperation that unite them, as a tool to strengthen binational integration; REAFFIRMING: Your commitment to the principles of equality, social inclusion, justice, peace, solidarity and democracy; Have agreed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1, letter e) of the Treaty establishing the Court of Justice of the Andean Community, to sign the present TREATY Article P One.

Recognizing. Further the following opportunities: the intent of countries in the region to develop sustainably increased public, media and business awareness of air pollution and climate change; early awareness of these issues enables countries to consider development options and to acquire the necessary information on which to make informed decisions about investment in clean development technologies; current co-operation within SADC countries provides an opportunity for harmonizing legislation and other policy instruments on air pollution within the region. Recalling: The international agreements that have successfully addressed air pollution in industrialized regions, such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP), which might provide useful guidance for developing appropriate legislation for Southern Africa.
Recognizing. The potential for increased air pollution and consequential phenomena in southern Africa caused by emissions from: The industrial sector such as thermal power stations, smelters, cement factories, chemical industry; The transport sector; Forest/Savannah fires; Domestic fuel use; Waste burning; Recognizing: The impacts of air pollution on the following: Human health, including those individuals whose immunity has been compromised by HIV/AIDS, with associated socio-economic consequences, particularly to the less privileged in society and to government health services; Ecosystems on which people in southern Africa depend, involving water resources, agriculture (crops, livestock etc), forestry, fisheries and wildlife; Materials, buildings, infrastructure, historical sites and monuments through corrosion, which may cause large economic losses due to increased maintenance costs and loss of value; Climate change and biodiversity in southern Africa; Forests, woodlands and savannah which may lead to localized vegetation loss, habitat fragmentation, land degradation and even desertification.
Recognizing. The existence of trans-boundary air pollution, as shown by studies that have been carried out in the region on emissions and transport of air pollutants;
Recognizing that humane, cost-effective, and scientif- ically suitable non-animal methods are available for certain research models, the agreement directs NIH to appoint a working group to make recommendations for encour- aging the use of non-animal models where appropriate in NIH intramural and extra- mural research, including epidemiological and clinical studies, cell-based methods, computer modeling and simulation, and human tissue studies, with consideration for complexity of the biomedical research area, and the current applicability and translat- ability of the non-animal model. The panel should also report on effectively moving re- search away from methods that rely on poor- ly-defined animal models to methods that rely on validated non-animal alternatives. The working group should review and rec- ommend means of encouraging greater reli- ance on validated human-relevant non-ani- mal methods/approaches that are appro- priate for identified research areas. Member- ship should include individuals with proven knowledge of/experience with non-animal re- search methods; with proven knowledge of/ expertise with animal research models; with expertise in evaluating the adequacy of jus- tifications described in research applications and proposals for why the research goals cannot be accomplished using an alternative model; and with knowledge of research ani- mal welfare, and relevant scientific limita- tions. The Committee asks that NIH provide a report of the working group’s findings within 180 days of enactment of this Act. IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Net-
