15  General considerations in making national environment protection measures
  In making any national environment protection measure, the Council must have regard to:
 (a) whether the measure is consistent with section 3 of the Agreement; and
 (b) the environmental, economic and social impact of the measure; and
 (c) the simplicity, efficiency and effectiveness of the administration of the measure; and
 (d) whether the most effective means of achieving the desired environmental outcomes of the measure is by means of a national environment protection standard, goal or guideline or any particular combination thereof; and
 (e) the relationship of the measure to existing inter‑governmental mechanisms; and
 (f) relevant international agreements to which Australia is a party; and
 (g) any regional environmental differences in Australia.
