"This report concerns the recast Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals. Although this regulation followed the Rotterdam Convention, it is true that its scope goes beyond that, covering a greater number of chemicals. The Commission is now proposing a recasting of this regulation intended, specifically, to clarify certain definitions, to bring the regulation into line with recently adopted chemicals legislation, to increase the European Chemicals Agency’s involvement in implementing the regulation, and to amend the rules on the prior informed consent (PIC) procedure. This will make it easier for exporters to export the chemicals provided for in the PIC Regulation. I would stress that we must remain cautious regarding the possibility of waiving the PIC procedure for exports of chemicals considered harmful or dangerous to third countries, since it is the EU’s responsibility to ensure the chemicals we export do not cause harm to humans or the environment. I therefore voted for this report."@en1
