"I voted in favour of Mr Jørgensen’s report on the recast of European legislation on the export and import of dangerous chemicals. This recast implements the Rotterdam Convention within the European Union, regulating trade in these products through the information exchange between the parties to the convention and the implementation of the prior informed consent (PIC) procedure, which requires exporting countries to formally obtain consent from the importing countries before the export can take place. The Commission has proposed recasting the legislation specifically to clarify certain definitions, involve the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and, above all, to facilitate the export of products when no response is received from the importing country, due to the fact that European legislation covers more chemical substances than the convention, by widening the possibility of derogations from the PIC procedure for substances that are banned or severely restricted, on account of the risks they represent to human health or the environment. The report sets out to restrict the possibilities for derogation and opposes the export of products against the will of importers. The report also limits the rights of the ECHA by preserving the right of Member States to control trade in dangerous chemicals."@en1
