At the meeting, it was agreed to establish a joint operative plan to enforce laws against Israelis and Palestinians dumping hazardous waste at illegal sites. It was also agreed that joint teams would prepare an agreed plan, based on acceptable environmental and geological principles to build joint hazardous waste disposal sites for Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Emphasis will be placed on finding sites in the Bethlehem, Nablus-Tulkarm and Ramallah regions. A meeting will be held by the Environmental Professional Committee in order to promote local projects such as a joint Kalkilya-Kfar Saba dump and joint waste treatment for the Emek Hefer and Nablus Regional Councils. Finally, it was agreed to hold regular senior-level meetings every two-three months in order to push forward issues that become stuck in the committees.
