lpv:translated text	"Regulation (EC) No 689/2008, or the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) Regulation, applies the Rotterdam Convention; however, it goes further, covering a greater number of chemicals. Moreover, the regulation applies the PIC procedure to all countries that import the listed chemicals from the EU, not just the convention’s signatory countries. I support European Chemicals Agency involvement in applying the regulation so as to take on greater responsibility as regards the implementation thereof. The chemicals listed in items 2 and 3 of Annex I to the PIC Regulation are banned or severely restricted in the EU because they are often harmful to the environment and/or human health. It is important to take particular care with exporting these chemicals to third countries, ensuring that we do not do so against their will. I therefore agree with the rapporteur on limiting waivers for the PIC procedure, since it is the EU’s responsibility to ensure the chemicals we export do not cause unnecessary harm to humans or the environment."@en1
