Endnotes |
| † |
The substances in this list were identified
at the following OSPAR Commission meetings:
OSPAR/MMC 1998: Agreement reference number 1998-16 (Annex 2 to the OSPAR Strategy with
regard to Hazardous Substances);
OSPAR 2000: Agreement reference number 2000-10;
OSPAR 2001: Agreement reference number 2001-2. |
| * |
The identification of these substances and
the consequent action required is explained in § 4.13 of the OSPAR 2001 Summary
Record. In brief, these substances have rankings in terms of persistency, liability to
bioaccumulate and toxicity which are of equal concern as the other substances on this
list. However, to the best of OSPAR’s knowledge, there is no current production or
use in the OSPAR states. Therefore, every five years, commencing in 2003, Contracting
Parties and, where appropriate, observers representing the chemicals industries should
report to OSPAR: |
|
a. |
whether they have found any evidence that these chemicals
are being produced, used or discharged, and, if so, what that evidence is, and what action
(if any) has been taken; |
|
b. |
whether there have been any cases where applications have
been made for approvals involving these chemicals, and, if so, what decision was taken. |
| ‡ |
These substances have currently no lead
country to further the work within OSPAR and will have to be considered at a later date. |
