[27-1-o] CONSULTATIONS ON THE PROPOSED ADDITION OF TETRAMETHYL LEAD, TETRAETHYL LEAD AND ETHYL PARATHION TO THE PIC PROCEDURE OF THE ROTTERDAM CONVENTION The Government of Canada is undertaking consultations to obtain the views of Canadians on the potential addition of tetramethyl lead, tetraethyl lead and ethyl parathion to the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade. In Canada, tetramethyl lead and tetraethyl lead are used in gasoline as a motor anti-knock additive for a limited number of applications. The registration of ethyl parathion in Canada in pest control products was discontinued in 2003. Ethyl parathion and end-use products containing ethyl parathion are no longer used in Canada for pest control. At an international meeting to be held in September 2004, participating countries will be asked to decide, by consensus, whether they agree or not to the inclusion of the three substances on the list of chemicals subject to the requirements of the PIC procedure. Canada therefore needs to develop a position on this issue and to ensure that this position takes into account the potential impacts of the inclusion or non-inclusion of these substances under the PIC procedure. The Rotterdam Convention, a multilateral environmental agreement to which Canada is a Party, is based on the principle that export of a chemical covered by the Convention can only take place with the prior informed consent of the importing party. The "Prior Informed Consent" (PIC) procedure of the Convention sets out the process for formally obtaining and disseminating the decisions of importing countries as to whether they wish to receive future shipments of specified chemicals and for ensuring compliance with these decisions by exporting countries. Listing a chemical under the PIC procedure means that it will be subject to information exchange, priority attention for national decisions about imports and obligations related to export controls. Decisions taken by a country regarding the imports of a chemical listed under the PIC procedure are to be trade neutral. This is aimed to prevent the use of the PIC regime to protect domestic products from external competition. This is achieved through the Convention's provisions that any bans or restrictions on imports of PIC chemicals must be accompanied by parallel bans or restrictions on production for domestic use. These consultations are meant to gather the views of Canadians on the following questions related to the addition of the three substances to the PIC procedure of the Rotterdam Convention: 1. What impacts, if any, do you foresee if any/all of the substances become subject to the PIC procedure? 2. How could these potential impacts be addressed? Comments received through this consultation will be considered in the development of a federal position for the September 2004 meeting of countries participating to the Convention. A consultation document and a background document on the Rotterdam Convention
have been developed to present information and considerations relevant
to the issue. These documents, as well as additional information on the
consultations, are available on Environment Canada's Web site at http://www.ec.gc.ca/nopp/docs/consult/ Interested parties are invited to provide written comments by July 31, 2004. Please be advised than any information received as a result of these consultations may be considered and treated as publicly available information unless it is clearly specified that the submission is to be held in confidence by the Government. Submissions should be sent to the attention of Sandi Moser, Chemicals Control Branch, Environment Canada, 351 Saint-Joseph Boulevard, 12th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3, cds-sdc@ec.gc.ca (electronic mail), (819) 994-0007 (facsimile).
