"This report seems generally positive to us, so we voted for it. The Prior Informed Consent (PIC) Regulation applies the Rotterdam Convention in the EU, promotes information on the chemicals sold and applies the PIC procedure to exports of chemicals covered by the convention. As such, the mechanism ensures that countries exporting chemicals obtain the formal consent of importer countries before exporting them. The Commission proposal, supported by Parliament, clarifies some definitions and involves the European Chemicals Agency in implementing them. As such, it warns that the manufacturers of chemicals banned or restricted in the EU that normally choose to export them, specifically to countries with weaker legislation, will only be able to do so with formal certification that the third countries to which they are exporting these products are not opposed to receiving them, because some chemicals jeopardise public health and the environment; that issue is central to this regulation."@en1
