Reviews notifications from parties and draft Decision Guidance Documents (DGD) and make recommendations to the COP on chemicals to include in Annex III. Members are government designated experts in chemicals management from various participating countries. 2.4 Secretariat: This is provided jointly FAO and UNEP. The Secretariat is responsible for administrative arrangements for meetings of the COP and its subsidiary bodies (eg CRC), verification of notifications and proposals, disseminating import responses by the Parties, facilitating assistance to developing country parties, facilitating information exchange between parties and ensuring coordination with other international organizations. PIC also include export notification, whereby governments are required to notify importing countries of exports of banned or severely restricted d chemicals for the first export of each year. Export notification ceases when the chemical enters PIC. 3.0 HOW THE CONVENTION WORKS (Figure 1) The Convention includes two key provisions: The Prior Informed Consent (PIC procedure) and information exchange for achieving the objectives of the convention. 3.1 PIC: This is the principle that export of a chemical covered by the Convention can only take place with the prior informed consent of the importing party. For each chemical subject to the PIC procedure, countries are requested to indicate whether they accept import, refuse import or allow import under certain conditions and to inform the Secretariat of their decision. Import decisions taken by countries must be trade neutral; that is, if a Party decides that it does not consent to accept imports of a specific chemical, it must also stop production of the chemical or imports from all countries, and have domestic legislative or administrative measures prohibiting the chemical. These import decisions are summarized by the Secretariat and a compilation of importing country responses is distributed to Parties every six months via the PIC Circular. 3.2 Information exchange: The inclusion of a chemical in the PIC procedure does not mean that it should be globally banned or severely restricted automatically, nor does it mean that an individual country should automatically prohibit its import. It does mean that chemicals listed under the PIC Procedure are subject to extensive information exchange, priority attention for national decisions about imports, and obligations related to export controls. 3.3 Inclusion of a chemical to PIC procedure: 79
All Parties have to notify the Secretariat of the Convention when they take final regulatory actions to ban or severely restrict the use of a chemical for health or environmental reasons. The Secretariat keeps a list of chemicals that are banned or severely restricted by Parties. The process to consider the addition of a chemical to the PIC procedure is initiated when the Secretariat receives notification for the chemical by two Parties, each from a different region of the Convention (the Convention divides the Parties into seven regions). Once a chemical has been nominated for consideration for inclusion in the PIC procedure, the notifications are submitted to the Chemical Review Committee, which prepares a Decision Guidance Document if the notification meet the criteria of the Convention. The Chemical Review Committee makes recommendations the COP whether or not to add the substance to the PIC procedure and to approve the Decision Guidance Document. It is the Parties that make the final decision to add a chemical to the list of substances subject to the PIC procedure, on a consensus basis. The Convention requires that the entire process to consider the addition of chemicals to the PIC procedure be conducted in an open and transparent manner. 4.0 NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF THE CONVENTION 4.1 Participation in the Convention: <strong>Tanzania</strong> signed the Rotterdam Convention in 1998, and ratified it in 2002. The national focal point is the Vice President’s Office, Department of Environment. The country has appointed two Designated Authorities for implementation of the convention: The Chief Government Chemist (for Industrial and Consumer Chemicals) and Registrar of Pesticides (for pesticides) as directed by Article 4 of the convention. The two DNAs have been trained in Nairobi Kenya June 2000 and Namibia in February 2003. The Government has also been represented in various international meetings including the most recent International Seminar held in Rome – Italy, 6 th – 8 th April 2005. The roles of DNAs include dealing with administrative issues related to the convention such as information exchange, receiving document from the secretariat, workshop proceedings, communicating with industries, Government ministries and other relevant authorities. The provisions of implementation of the convention have been also incorporated in some national laws such as the Plant Protection Act (1997), the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management & Control) Act (2003) and the Environmental Management Act (2004). 4.2 Status of the chemicals under the convention (Annex III) – Refer Table 1. 80
