Abstract
One of the conditions for Israel joining the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development was establishing a PRTR database. This system would be compatible with the rules established by the Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers, which was signed by more than thirty-six countries, in order to integrate health and environment considerations into policy and legislative decisions. The purpose of the PRTR Law, as described in Article 1, is to increase the transparency of environmental information in Israel. This goal will be achieved in two steps: (1) imposing mandatory reporting on institutions with significant environmental influence and (2) setting up an environmental database, in which the reports will be publicized and open to the public. The law aims to reduce and prevent health and environmental hazards according to the principle of precaution and, at the same time, sets out policy for environmental justice and improved quality of life and environment, for present and future generations.
