6. From 9/8/95 Greenpeace Press Release The "Best Practicable Environmental Option" (BPEO) - referred to in the Shell UK press release about the same meeting - is a UK Government policy which Greenpeace believes in fundamentally flawed and is not the same as the best environmental practice. However, Greenpeace recognises that if Shell UK seeks relicensing for the disposal of the Brent Spar within the UK, it will have to work within the legal framework of UK Government policy at the time, which may still be "BPEO".

7. 5/22/96 Greenpeace Press Release http://www.greenpeace.org/~comms/brent/96may22.html The UK Government should not assess each installation purely on a "case by case" basis. It should also take into account the cumulative impacts of all disposals of waste at sea. The decision making process before licensing the dumping of the Brent Spar should have included factors such as the need to conserve energy and resources by reducing, re-using and recycling waste. Other factors such as public acceptability should also be taken into account in future. Any problems with disposing of the Brent Spar on shore are no more difficult than have already been overcome with other installations.
