17 29. Intergovernmental forum on chemical risk assessment and management

(i) Information on chemicals, including chemicals in products (i.e., mixtures and articles), their intrinsic properties and their effects on human health and the environment, their potential uses, their alternatives and needs for protective measures and regulation is available, accessible, appropriate, harmonized, adequate and user friendly

Intergovernmental forum on chemical risk assessment and management (decision 17 29)

They may also wish to indicate the availability of information relating to alternatives to chemicals included in Annex III or national risk evaluations on chemicals included in Annex III.

Numerous risk reduction actions are needed to protect human health and the environment from the unsound management of chemicals.

The secretariat has provided a facility on the Rotterdam Convention web site where information on alternatives to chemicals included in Annex III and national risk evaluations performed on chemicals included in Annex III may be posted.

This Convention is directly beneficial to developing countries, as it shields them from unwanted and unknown chemical risks that could have detrimental development impacts.

Further noting the offer of the Swedish Government to host such a meeting on chemical risk assessment and management, in Stockholm in April 1994, See the report of the Programme Committee at the seventeenth session of the Governing Council (UNEP GC.17 31), para. 217.

The secretariat has the honour to circulate the revised draft high level declaration prepared by the President of the Preparatory Committee in the annex to the present note for the consideration of the Conference.

In addition, when countries submit information on national risk evaluations or available alternatives to the chemicals listed in Annex III, the information is posted on the website.
