Once chemicals are listed under the Rotterdam Convention, Parties to the Convention have to apply the prior informed consent procedure for these chemicals.
At its ninth meeting, in decision RC-9/6 on enhancing the effectiveness of the Rotterdam Convention, the Conference of the Parties requested the Secretariat, subject to the availability of resources, to continue sharing collected information on the measurable impacts of listing and not listing chemicals in Annex III.
Additionally, during its discussions on status of implementation of the Convention during the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, it was proposed that the Secretariat collect relevant data on trade in chemicals listed or recommended for listing in Annex III to the Convention. The Conference of the Parties decided that the Secretariat, in undertaking its work, should take into account this suggestion.
Parties, non-Parties, industry, civil society and other stakeholders are invited to provide such information to the Secretariat (andrea.lechner@un.org).
Please note that the provided information is posted below as received and does not necessarily reflect the views, decisions or policies of the Secretariat of the Rotterdam Convention, of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations or of the United Nations Environment Programme.
