PAN congratulates COP 5 on listing endosulfan, aldicarb and alachlor and hopes on continuation with asbestos

PAN Intervention at COP 5 by Meriel Watts:

"Thank you Madam President.
Very briefly, Pesticide Action Network would like to congratulate the Conference of the Parties on finally listing endosulfan. It has been a long road, as it has travelled through both this Convention and the Stockholm Convention, but at last we have resolution. We also congratulate you on the listing of aldicarb and alachlor.
We hope the positive move with a chemical that became stuck at a pervious COP will - together with India’s willingness to move forward with chrysotile - lay the foundation for a new spirit of willingness by other parties at the next COP to finally list chrysotile asbestos, which clearly meets the scientific and legal requirements of the convention."

The first Champion of the Conference is India!

India was awarded the first Champion of the fifth conference of the parties COP 5 of the Rotterdam Convention! It is now supporting the listing of chrysotile asbestos in Annex III, called the PIC list. This decision has evoked a strong dynamic in the discussion. Thank you India!!!
