Annex II
(Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1237/97 27 June 1997 amending
Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92 concerning the
export and import of certain dangerous chemicals)
The information contained in this Annex is based on the PIC
Circular VI - July 1996 and on the Update of PIC Circular VI -
January 1997
1. List of chemicals subject to the international PIC procedure
The following chemicals have been introduced in the PIC procedure
following control actions reported by participating countries. For
aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, dinoseb & dinoseb salts, fluoroacetamide, HCH,
chlordane, chlordimeform, EDB, heptachlor, mercury compounds, reported
control actions refer to pesticide use (as defined by the FAO/UNEP).
For crocidolite, PBBs, PCBs, PCTs and tris(2,3 dibromopropyl)
phosphate, reported control actions refer to industrial use. Decision
Guidance Documents (DGDs) have been prepared by UNEP/FAO (IRPTC) to
help countries to make import decisions concerning those chemicals.
Nevertheless, the DGDs are not the only information taken into
account by countries when they take their import decision. Therefore,
the import decision does not necessarily refer to the uses mentioned
in the DGDs.
