INTRODUCTION

resolution 2001/33, which requested the Secretary-General to look at the possibility of online dissemination of the List. In addition to the web posting, the eighth issue will be the last one to be published in the printed version as a whole, containing complete historical data.

This is the first time that an update of the Consolidated List of Products whose Consumption and/or Sale have been Banned, Withdrawn, Severely Restricted or not Approved by Governments has been printed in a “short version”, Le., the present issue will contain only new data. The complete ninth issue, containing historical data on chemicals, will be posted on the United Nations web site. This short version of the ninth issue has been printed for the benefit of those users of the List, particularly for users in the developing countries, who may not have easy access to the Internet or those who would like to continue to receive the publication in the printed version for reasons of their own. They should use it in conjunction with the printed seventh issue, which also contains data on chemicals.

The Joint UNEP/FAO Interim Secretariat for the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade publishes PIC circulars every six months, containing notifications received from national authorities on the final regulatory action to ban or severely restrict a chemical. The current ninth issue of the List contains data taken from PIC circulars issued between December 2001 and June 2003. It includes information on nine new products, together with updated andor new information on 47 existing products. In view of the small number of new products, no commercial information on tradebrand names was included in the ninth issue.

According to the previously determined schedule, the yearly focus of the List alternates between pharmaceuticals and chemicals. The seventh issue of the List, containing chemical data, was published as usual in the printed version only in July 2002. The eighth issue of the List, containing complete historical data on pharmaceuticals, was the first issue to be posted on the United Nations web site in September 2003, in accordance with General Assembly and Economic and Social Council resolutions (see annex I), specifically General Assembly resolution 39/229, which called for the List data to be made available to Governmcnts and other users in such a form as to permit direct computer access to it, and Economic and Social Council

Beginning with the ninth issue, all future issues of the List will be posted regularly on the web and only new data will be printed for a limited number of users, who may continue to use them in conjunction with previously printed issues. It is hoped that this new procedure will help the List to reach a much wider audience in a shorter time, as mandated in previous General Assembly and Economic and Social Council resolutions.

Based on Article 16a of the Dutch PesticideLaw of 1962, an exemption could, however, be granted based on individual requests. In the following period of time, the policies of the Government aimed at a further decrease in the use of methyl bromide. In 1992 methyl bromide was completely banned for use as a soil disinfectant. In 1996, two space fumigation products on the basis of methyl bromide were extended until 1 December 2001.

It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protectionproducts containing chlozolinate. The authorizations for plant protection products containing chlozolinate had to be withdrawn within a period of six months from the date of adoption of the Commission Decision 2000/626/EC (13/10/2000). EU Member States may grant a period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks, not longer than 18 months from the date of adoption of Commission Decision 2000/626/EC of 1311012000 (i.e. until 13/04/2002). Action was taken to protect operators applying plant protectionproducts containing chlozolinate and consumers exposed to potentialresidues resulting from the use of these plant protection products. Final regulatory action was taken to protect non-target organisms. (Reference: (EP3) UNEPIFAO - PIC Circulars XIV, XV, XVI, XVll 12/2001,6/2002, 1212002,612003,, , )

All uses of crocidolite are banned. Breathing high levels of asbestos fibers for a long time may result in scarring of the lungs, which can lead to disability and death. At lower levels, breathing asbestos fibers may result in plaques in the pleural membranes, which can result in thickening of the pleural membrane and breathing difficulties. Asbestos is associated with the development of lung cancer and messothelioma. (Reference: (EP3) UNEPIFAO - PIC Circulars XIV, XV, XVI, XVll - 12/2001,6/2002, 12/2002,6/2003,, , )

All uses of PBBs are banned. PBBs are persistent in living organisms, and promote cancers of the digestive system and lymph nodes. Long term exposure has been associated with nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, joint pain, fatigue and weakness. PBBs are resistant to degradation and persistent in both water and soil. Because of their high solubility in fat, they bioaccumulate,especially in the fatty tissue of living organisms. There is evidence to suggest chronic toxicity in a variety of wildlife species.

PBBs may not be used for the production of textile articles (clothes, underwear, bedclothes, etc.) to come into contact with human skin. All other uses than the use in textile articles intended to come in contact with the skin are continued. PBBs cause weight loss, liver damage, porphyria, effects on the central nervous system, skin, eyes and the immune system, effects on reproduction, they are weakly teratogenic (embryotoxic) in cattle and laboratory animals.

The chemical is banned. Production, import, export, sale and use of SCCP in pure form, in preparations or in products containing > 0.1% of SCCP is prohibited. Practicallyall known uses are prohibited. Only use for research and analyticalpurposes is still allowed. SCCP are very toxic to aquatic organisms, especially daphnids. They degrade slowly in the environment and have a high potential for bioaccumulation. Their negative long term effects in the aquatic environment, the risk of secondary poisoning of predators through the food chain, and their potential for long range transport via air and water give rise to serious concerns.

The chemical is severely restricted. All uses as an anti-knock agent in vehicles are prohibited. The latest regulatory action provided for certain limited derogations. Member States may be allowed to continue to permit the marketing of leaded petrol containing not more than 0.15 g/L lead within their territory until 1 January 2005, provided that it can be demonstrated hat a ban would result in severe socio-economic problems or would not lead to overall environmental or health benefits. Member States may also allow a derogation for small quantities of leaded petrol containing not more than 0.15 g/L lead, up to a maximum of 0.5% of total sales, for collectors' old cars. The lead content of petrol for aircraft is not covered by the regulatory action. TEL has been assessed to be very acutely toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.

specific cases and/or under certain conditions, have been severely restricted in their consumption and/or sale owing to their toxic effects on health and the environment, Aware of the harm to health being caused in importing countries by the

export of pharmaceutical products ultimately intended also for consumption and/or sale in the home market of the exporting country, but which have not yet been approved there, Considering that many developing countries lack the necessary

information and expertise to keep up with developments in this field, Considering the need for countries that have been exporting the abovementioned products to make available the necessary information and assistance to enable the importing countries to protect themselves adequately, Cognizant of the fact that almost all of these products are at present manufactured and exported from a limited number of countries, Taking into account that the primary responsibility for consumer protection rests with each State, Recalling its resolution 36/166 of 16 December 1981 and the report on

transnational corporations in the pharmaceutical industry of developing countries,aand acting in pursuance of Economic and Social Council resolution 1981/62 of 23 July 1981, Bearing in mind in this context the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organisation, the United Nations Environment Programme, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the United a
