    1. noted the announcement by Finland that the Baltic States, working through the Helsinki Commission, would submit proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex IV to a future session of the Committee to address that issue; and

    2. agreed to encourage all passenger vessels navigating in semi-closed and closed sea areas which are threatened by eutrophication, to refrain from discharging their waste water into the sea, and to dispose of it only in port reception facilities, if available.

    The Committee requested the Secretariat to disseminate the above agreement as an MEPC circular.

  2. Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of all interested parties, including shipowners and operators of passenger and cruise ships.
