lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals because Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 (PIC Regulation) implements the Rotterdam Convention in the European Union. The aim of the Rotterdam Convention is to promote information exchange about chemicals being traded between the parties to the convention and also to implement the prior informed consent (PIC) procedure when a party to the convention exports chemicals subject to the convention to another party to the convention. This is a mechanism that ensures that countries exporting chemicals formally obtain consent from the importing countries before the export can take place. This procedure applies to the chemicals listed in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention, which covers pesticides and industrial chemicals that have been banned or severely restricted by parties to the convention for health or environmental reasons and which have been notified by parties to the convention for inclusion in the PIC procedure. With Regulation (EC) No 689/2008, the EU goes beyond the Rotterdam Convention in the sense that the regulation includes more chemicals than the ones listed in the Rotterdam Convention. Furthermore, the regulation applies the PIC procedure to all countries that import the listed chemicals from the EU and not just countries that are parties to the convention."@en1
