!he "uidelines contain the measures that are generally

considered to be achievable in new facilities by e#isting

technology at reasonable costs.

Application of the "uidelines to e#isting facilities may

involve the establishment of site$specific targets, with an

appropriate timetable for achieving them.

!he applicability of the "uidelines should be tailored to the

ha%ards and risks established for each pro&ect on the basis

of the results of an environmental assessment in which site$specific variables, such as host country conte#t,

assimilative capacity of the environment, and other pro&ect

factors, are taken into account.
