15. Environmental costs should be capitalized if they relate, directly or indirectly, to future economic benefits that will flow to the enterprise through

Furthermore, developing countries data requirements for economic, social and environmental policy management, including monitoring and implementation of national and regional programmes, as well as requirements emanating from the recently held United Nations global conferences, are exceptionally high.

What practical steps have developed countries taken or can they take to include developing country trade partners in consultations during the development of environmental requirements?
