"Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 implements the Rotterdam Convention in the EU, which promotes information exchange about chemicals being traded between the parties and implements the prior informed consent procedure. Under this system, those wishing to export the chemicals listed in the convention must receive the consent of the importer country. The regulation even goes beyond the convention itself because it covers a greater number of chemicals and applies the informed consent procedure to all countries that import from the EU, including third countries. The Commission proposes to increase the possible derogations from the prior informed consent procedure for third countries, thereby allowing – under certain conditions – a substance to be exported even if consent has not been received. However, some of these substances can be truly harmful to health and the environment. I therefore think it is too dangerous to use the Commission’s proposal in this case and declare my support for the report by Mr Jørgensen, who has made clear his disapproval. The EU should continue to play a leading role in environmental legislation in order to guarantee the health of citizens and of the environment."@en1
