PULP MILLS (JUDGMENT) 101 argues that the 1975 Statute was concluded not only to protect the quality of the waters, but also, more generally, the “régime” of the river and “the areas affected by it, i.e., all the factors that affect, and are affected by the ecosystem of the river as a whole”. Uruguay contends that the Court has no jurisdiction over those matters and that, in any event, the claims are not established on the merits. 264. With respect to noise and visual pollution, the Court has already concluded in paragraph 52 that it has no jurisdiction on such matters under the 1975 Statute. As regards air pollution, the Court is of the view that if emissions from the plant’s stacks have deposited into the aquatic environment substances with harmful effects, such indirect pollution of the river would fall under the provisions of the 1975 Statute. Uruguay appears to agree with this conclusion. Nevertheless, in view of the findings of the Court with respect to water quality, it is the opinion of the Court that the record does not show any clear evidence that substances with harmful effects have been introduced into the aquatic environment of the river through the emissions of the Orion (Botnia) mill into the air. (f) Conclusions on Article 41 265. It follows from the above that there is no conclusive evidence in the record to show that Uruguay has not acted with the requisite degree of due diligence or that the discharges of effluent from the Orion (Botnia) mill have had deleterious effects or caused harm to living resources or to the quality of the water or the ecological balance of the river since it started its operations in November 2007. Consequently, on the basis of the evidence submitted to it, the Court concludes that Uruguay has not breached its obligations under Article 41. (g) Continuing obligations : monitoring 266. The Court is of the opinion that both Parties have the obligation to enable CARU, as the joint machinery created by the 1975 Statute, to exercise on a continuous basis the powers conferred on it by the 1975 Statute, including its function of monitoring the quality of the waters of the river and of assessing the impact of the operation of the Orion (Botnia) mill on the aquatic environment. Uruguay, for its part, has the obligation to continue monitoring the operation of the plant in accordance with Article 41 of the Statute and to ensure compliance by Botnia with Uruguayan domestic regulations as well as the standards set by CARU. The Parties have a legal obligation under the 1975 Statute to continue their co-operation through CARU and to enable it to devise the necessary means to promote the equitable utilization of the river, while protecting its environment. * * 91
