environmental and human health hazards associated with hazardous chemicals and wastes they are exposed to; lack of financial mechanism; management and disposal of obsolete electronic equipment; inadequate capacity to monitor transboundary movement of HZW and other. Accumulation of obsolete pesticides and veterinary drugs; lack of proper treatment and disposal facilities for hazardous wastes e.g. incinerators and containment in sanitary landfills; reclamation of valuable material is done in open dumping sites; lack of technical know how on proper waste management and weak enforcement of the existing legislation. He proposed the following measures: to develop guidelines for management of HZW and other wastes; develop specific regulations for HZW and other wastes; promote law enforcement; create awareness on matter related to HZW. After the presentation participants asked that how rat-routes (i.e. illegal traffic) are controlled by the Basel Convention and the reaction was Basel Convention deals with legal movement only. The problem is with the chemicals and equipments that are brought in the country during the last phase of their life circle and hence become waste soon after. An inventory is underway for the nonworking electronic wastes in <strong>Tanzania</strong>. The custom officials at the borders are responsible to ensure that importation of articles is not on the last phase of their life cycle. It was further commended that issues of the porous borders is still a problem and therefore we need to educate and raise awareness to the local government leaders and people to watch out for that. The reasons for the obsolete pesticides were over importation, oversize donation during various epidemics, poor storage and poor storage practices. 70% of the stock belongs to the government and the remaining part belongs to private sector mainly the Cooperative Societies. Based on Basel Convention perspective, when you buy a product near its end of life and expire on your hands you become the waste producer. It was further queried that why pointing fingers to only customs officials only and the reaction was that they are government eyes on border points. It was asked that one objective of the Basel convention is to regulate and control importation of hazardous wastes. Has the Convention covered the grass-root level on its implementation and the reaction was that the principle of reducing waste from the source also applies with the Bamako Convention but the problem is the Convention has not been operational. It was contributed further that in principle, the government should enact local laws to comply with the articles of all Conventions it has signed, e.g. EMA incorporates most of Conventions with environmental orientation. 3.2.4 International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides: Implementation Status in <strong>Tanzania</strong> 13
Mr. Akhabuhaya – Registrar of Pesticides, Tropical Pesticides Research Institute The presentation gave a brief history of the International Code of Conduct on the distribution and use of pesticides. The objectives of the code are to establish voluntary standards and shared responsibilities to all stakeholders with respect to the distribution and use of pesticides (especially where there is inadequate or no legislation) so as to ensure effective and safe use of pesticides. Major stakeholders are Governments (importers and exporters), international organization, pesticides industries including manufacturers, traders, exporters, distributor etc. other stakeholders are Farmers, Food industry, Consumers, Environmentalists, Crop consultants, NGOs etc. The presenter noted the following challenges hampering full implementation of the Code: Lack of funds, personnel, poor infrastructure etc; poor planning of activities; and ignorance of roles and activities; Deficient laws and regulations (PPA and regulations are being reviewed); Uninformed and unwilling stakeholders and not all stakeholders know their role; and some who know are reluctant. In order to meet these challenges there is a need to update laws and regulations (incorporate the Code articles; introduce penalties etc.); create sustainable capacity building activities; adequate staff and laboratories; have enough technical training; conduct common workshops and meetings; effective information exchange mechanism (publications, websites etc); adequate sensitisation on the CODE to all stakeholders and the general public; pressure from stakeholders such as NGOs; individuals; and through mass media etc. The presenter elaborated on how observance of the code would contribute to poverty alleviation. Minimizing pesticides use (through IPM, minimal imports, judicious uses etc) will save foreign exchange and minimize health & environmental risks; minimise obsolete and other unwanted stocks; increase exports through minimal residues, and high quality products; increase productivity through use of quality and recommended products use; and save farmer and country’s money through elimination of “fake pesticides”, elimination of illegal distributors, importers etc. After the presentation, participants asked that FAO Code of conduct is a voluntary mechanism as presented. Being voluntary code without a legal or enforcing mechanism, how its implementation could be ensured, and the reaction was that it is really voluntary but also it has been a good source of other chemical conventions such as PIC (Basel), Rotterdam, etc. Implementation of these Conventions will indirectly mean complying with the Code of conduct. It was further commended that FAO code is broad in nature, it is difficulty to make mandatory due to a lot of activities put in place and there are so many topics to 14
