Argument 4
If a developing country feels it can handle the hazardous waste, it should be allowed to do this and not be subject to paternalism from developed countries. -- Kerry and Katrin
 * Countries set their environmental standards below socially efficient levels in order to attract investment or to promote its exports. Developing countries depend on developed countries to strengthen their economy. Developed countries know about their paternalistic advantage and exploit developing countries. --193.174.11.19 11:07, January 24, 2014 (UTC) Theresa + Nele
 * Developed countries depend on developing countries, otherwise what would they do with all their hazardous waste? 193.174.11.19 11:25, January 24, 2014 (UTC) Julia/Alina
 * Yes that's the point! It is THEIR waste so why should they pass on the problem to countries with less possibilities to cope with the waste and take responsibility of the damage companies in developed countries did? --193.174.11.19 11:36, January 24, 2014 (UTC)Nele+Theresa
