Carbosulfan is a candidate chemical that has been recommended by the Chemicals Review Committee (CRC) for its inclusion in the PIC procedure but for which the Conference of the Parties (COP) has not yet been able to reach consensus on whether to list in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention.
The COP, at its 8th meeting in 2017, adopted a decision on carbosulfan (Decision RC-8/6), which, among other issues, encourages Parties to make use of available information to make informed decisions regarding the import and management of carbosulfan, and to inform other Parties of those decisions, using the information exchange provisions laid down in Article 14 of the Rotterdam Convention.
COP8 also decided that the agenda for COP9 shall include further consideration of a draft decision listing carbosulfan in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention. COP9, COP10 and COP 11 decided to defer further consideration of the chemical to their corresponding subsequent meeting.
The Secretariat publishes the information received from the Parties on carbosulfan in the Appendix VI "Information exchange on chemicals recommended by the Chemical Review Committee for listing in Annex III but for which the Conference of the Parties has yet to take a final decision" of the PIC Circular.
