Ad Hoc Working Group of Experts for the Exchange of Information on Potentially Harmful Chemicals (in particular pesticides) in International Trade

186 chemicals (pesticides and industrial chemicals) are listed in Annex I and are subject to certain obligations when exported.

Accordingly, hazardous chemicals, whether in the form of substances on their own or in mixtures or in articles, which have been banned or severely restricted by the Union as plant protection products, as other forms of pesticides, or as industrial chemicals for use by professional users or by the public, should be subject to export notification rules similar to those applicable to such chemicals when they are banned or severely restricted within either or both of the use categories laid down in the Convention, namely as pesticides or chemicals for industrial use.

When determining whether a final regulatory action at Union level constitutes a ban or a severe restriction such that the chemical concerned qualifies for PIC notification under Article 11, the effect of that action shall be assessed at the level of the categories ‘pesticides’ and ‘industrial chemicals’.
