Sixth Amendment to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 689/2008 is published
Commission Regulation (EU) 71/2012 amends for the sixth time Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 689/2008 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals and will apply from 01 April 2012.
Sixteen entries have been added, amended or deleted. The names of the affected chemicals are as follows, but you should refer to the new Annexes to confirm their identities:
The sixth Amendment:
- Adds six substances to Part 1 of Annex I, which means that they will become subject to export notification requirements;
- Cyanamide
- Dichlobenil
- Dicloran
- Ethoxyquin
- Methyl bromide
- Propisochlor
- Adds these same six substances ‘above’ plus a further substance, Flurprimidol, to Part 2 of Annex I of the Regulation, which means that explicit consent will be required before they can be exported outside the EU;
and
- Removes the existing entries for Triflumuron and Triazoxide from Part 1 of Annex I.
The European Commission will update their EDEXIM database (concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals) shortly to incorporate these amendments.
