UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/21 Annex III Issues related to the discontinuation of the interim PIC procedure Following its deliberations, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee agreed to forward to the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties its draft proposals on the following issues that had not been resolved by the working group on the discontinuation of the proposed PIC procedure (reference is provided to the report of the working group on the discontinuation of the proposed PIC procedure, contained in document UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/18). 1. Composition of the PIC regions (UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/18, paras. 16 (a) and (b)) Two options: (a) (b) That the PIC regions to be adopted at the first Conference of the Parties should be based on the geographical distribution of the Parties at that time; That the PIC regions to be adopted at the first Conference of the Parties should be based on the regions used during the interim PIC procedure, pending consideration of the geographical distribution of Parties at that time. 2. Chemicals subject to the interim PIC procedure but not yet listed in annex III to the Convention (UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/18, para. 21 (a)) Parties could be given up to nine months from the date of the first Conference of the Parties to provide a response in line with article 10, paragraph 2. After that period, exporting Party obligations under article 11 would only take effect six months after the exporting Party received information from the secretariat under article 10, paragraph 10, that the importing Party had failed to transmit a response, and would then apply for one year. 3. Notifications of final regulatory action and proposals for severely hazardous pesticide formulations (UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/18, para. 30) The Secretariat shall consult with each relevant designated national authority (in writing) concerning their proposals for a severely hazardous pesticide formulation that had been submitted during the interim period. Unless notified otherwise by the relevant designated national authority, each proposal for a severely hazardous pesticide formulation is deemed, by a decision at the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties, to be resubmitted for the purposes of the Convention. 4. Status of notifications and proposals submitted by Participating States (UNEP/FAO/PIC/INC.9/18, para. 40) It was agreed that the actions of non-Parties (including Participating States) cannot result in obligations on Parties following entry into force of the Convention. Verified notifications and proposals from Participating States submitted to the Secretariat as at the date of entry into force of the Convention and included in the first PIC Circular distributed after the entry into force of the Convention, would remain eligible for consideration by the Chemical Review Committee during the transition period. Two notifications, each from a Party from a different region, would trigger review by the Chemical Review Committee and, if appropriate, development of a decision guidance document and subsequent recommendation to the Conference of the Parties as per Article 5 and in line with Decision INC-7/6. 27
