Given the clear evidence that at least part of the decision-making process on export of the waste from Europe and delivery to Abidjan emanated from London, the Crown Prosecution Service should investigate options for initiating a criminal prosecution against Trafigura and/or individuals in decision-making or supervisory positions within the company and/or other individuals, agents or employees who may have been involved in the commission of illegal acts. Ensure effective implementation of the IMO prohibitions on blending bulk liquid cargoes during sea voyages and carrying out production processes on board ships. In any case where such processes take place, the resulting wastes should be covered by the Basel Convention. Undertake a review of the regulatory framework in the UK in relation to the adequacy of measures to investigate and prosecute UK-registered companies for causing or contributing to illegal acts abroad.

ndertake and publish a review of the U decision not to prosecute Trafigura in relation to the Vest Tank case. This review should include: • A comprehensive review of the decision not to prosecute Trafigura in relation to the bringing hazardous waste to Norway. This should take into account all the places where the waste may have been produced, and not just the high seas. • An assessment of the applicability of other avenues for prosecution such as those available under domestic pollution control regulations, and provide an explanation as to why these were not considered. Undertake a review of the regulatory framework in Norway in relation to the adequacy of measures to investigate and prosecute companies for crimes committed abroad or which have consequences abroad. Ensure this review is made public.
