Overview
The nineteenth meeting of the Chemical Review Committee of the Rotterdam Convention will take place from 3 to 6 October 2023 in Rome, Italy, back to back with the nineteenth meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee of the Stockholm Convention.
Due to a high workload of notifications of final regulatory action to be reviewed by the Chemical Review Committee, the Bureau of the Chemical Review Committee decided to prioritize the intersessional work leading up to the Committee’s nineteenth meeting. Following past practice, the intersessional work will take place early in the year, between March and June 2023. The notifications for which intersessional work is being conducted are as follows:
