Switzerland has signed the
Minamata Convention, an international agreement on reducing mercury
emissions, which are highly toxic. Its contribution to the effort will
be CHF7.5 million ($8.3 million).
Along with representatives from some 140 other countries, Swiss
Energy Minister Doris Leuthard was in Japan on Thursday for the signing.
There she announced that Switzerland would increase its support from an
initial pledge of CHF1 million to CHF7.5 million.http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/Swiss_increase_support_for_mercury_regulation.html?cid=37088928
