Parties are invited to consider ensuring continuity among the delegates attending these preparatory meetings and the meetings of the conferences of the Parties. Parties are furthermore invited to consider ensuring nominating current members of the bureaux of the three conferences of the Parties to the meetings. Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions Page | 3 Parties are encouraged to include representatives from their Permanent Missions to the United Nations in Geneva, where applicable, in their registrations and submission of credentials (see below) in case representatives from the delegation travelling to Switzerland face any unforeseen issues due to COVID-19 or related travel restrictions. Credentials of representatives of Parties to the conventions Parties are also invited to transmit credentials for their registered representatives. As indicated in the invitation letter dated 7 May 2021, credentials could be issued either only for the online segment of the meetings of the conferences of the Parties or for both the online and the face-to-face segment of the meetings of the conferences of the Parties. In the former case, your Government is hereby invited to transmit credentials of its representatives to attend the face-to-face segment of the meetings. In the latter case, your Government has the possibility to issue new or update the credentials of its representatives for the face-to-face segment of the meetings of the conferences of the Parties. In doing so, please bear in mind the decisions of the conferences of the Parties during the online segment of their meetings regarding any previously transmitted credentials. In accordance with rule 18 of the rules of procedure for the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention, rule 19 of the rules of procedure for the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention and rule 19 of the rules of procedure for the Conference of the Parties to the Stockholm Convention, Parties are invited to submit the credentials of their representatives to the meetings of those of the three conventions to which they are a Party. A model form of credentials is attached for your convenience and is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish on the conventions’ website. Please note that, in accordance with the respective rules of procedure, credentials must be issued by the head of State or Government, by the Minister for Foreign Affairs or, in the case of a regional economic integration organization, by the competent authority of that organization. Information regarding any change in the composition of the delegation should be submitted using the same procedure. Moreover, credentials shall be submitted if possible, no later than 24 hours after the resumption of the opening of the meetings (therefore by 10 am on Tuesday, 7 June 2022). The Secretariat invites Parties to submit any electronic copy of credentials in advance of the meetings preferably by Friday, 13 May 2022, as doing so will greatly facilitate the clearance process. The Secretariat also invites Parties to submit the original credentials of their representatives at the meeting venue at the time of the resumption of the meetings. Please also note that the bureaux of the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions agreed on the approach they will follow when preparing the reports on credentials for the meetings of the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions in 2021 and 2022. The bureaux agreed that when examining credentials received, they would accept original credentials in good order as well as copies of credentials in good order with the understanding that the original will be submitted as soon as possible. Please also note that, pursuant to the tentative schedule for the meetings, each Bureau would present to the respective Conference of the Parties its report on the examination of credentials on Friday afternoon 10 June 2022 and possibly on Thursday afternoon 16 June 2022. Assistance to developing-country Parties and Parties with economies in transition Depending on the availability of funds, financial assistance to help defray the cost of attending the meetings will be made available to developing-country Parties and Parties that are countries with economies in transition for one representative per State per convention to which the State is a Party, to a maximum of three representatives per State, for up to the full two-week duration of the meetings. Requests for financial assistance should be communicated to the Secretariat at the address below by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Permanent Mission of your country to the United Nations Office at Geneva, using the attached registration form, and should be received no later than Friday, 25 March 2022. Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions Page | 4 Please note that registration forms will not be processed by the Secretariat if they are not accompanied by an official nomination letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a note verbale from the Permanent Mission of your country to the United Nations Office at Geneva.

TAUST Baseli, Rotterdami ja Stockholmi konventsioonide ühine eesmärk on kaitsta inimtervist ja keskkonda erinevate ohtlike ainete eest. Baseli konventsioon reguleerib ohtlike ja teiste jäätmete käitlemist ja vedu. Stockholmi konventsioon reguleerib püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete (edaspidi POSide) käitlemist ja kasutuselt kõrvaldamist. Rotterdami konventsioon reguleerib ohtlike kemikaalide kaubandust. 2011. aastal võeti Baseli, Rotterdami ja Stockholmi konventsioonide osaliste kohtumistel vastu kolm identset otsust kolme konventsiooni ühildamise osas (BC-10/29, RC-5/12 ja SC-5/27). 2013. aastal toimusid koos kolme konventsiooni osaliste kohtumised ja nende konventsioonide osapoolte samaaegne erakorraline kohtumine. Muuhulgas otsustati jätkata ühinenud Baseli, Stockholmi ja Rotterdami sekretariaadiga. Kolmel konventsioonil on palju ühist ning seetõttu on mõistlik teatud küsimusi ühiselt vaadata. Samuti leiti, et selline lähenemine on majanduslikult soodsam. Seetõttu peetakse kolme konventsiooni osaliste kohtumised ühiselt. Seoses COVID-19 pandeemiast tingitud olukorra jätkumisega otsustas Baseli, Rotterdami ja Stockholmi konventsioonide ühisbüroo, et Baseli konventsiooni osapoolte 15. kohtumine, Rotterdami konventsiooni osapoolte 10. kohtumine ja Stockholmi konventsiooni osapoolte 10. kohtumine toimub kahes osas. Esimene osa toimus 26. juuli – 30. juulil 2021 virtuaalselt ning teine osa kohtumisest toimub 6. juuni – 17. juuni 2022 Genfis. Baseli konventsiooni osapoolte 15. kohtumise, Rotterdami konventsiooni osapoolte 10. kohtumise ja Stockholmi konventsiooni osapoolte 10. kohtumise teine osa toimub füüsiliselt Genfis 6. juuni – 17. juuni 2022. Kohtumistel osalemine eeldab, et moodustatakse volitustega delegatsioon. 1.1. BASELI KONVENTSIOON Ohtlike jäätmete riikidevahelise veo ja nende kõrvaldamise kontrolli Baseli konventsioon kirjutati alla Baselis 22. märtsil 1989. aastal ja see jõustus 5. mail 1992. aastal. Konventsiooni peamiseks eesmärgiks on kaitsta inimtervist ja keskkonda ohtlike ja muude jäätmete kahjulike mõjude eest selliste jäätmete transportimisel ning kõrvaldamisel. Baseli konventsioon on ELi õigusesse üle võetud Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 14. juuni 2006. aasta määrusega (EÜ) nr 1013/2006 jäätmesaadetiste kohta. 1.2. STOCKHOLMI KONVENTSIOON Stockholmi konventsioon võeti vastu Stockholmis 22. mail 2001 ning see jõustus 17. mail 2004, mis oli üheksakümnes päev pärast kuupäeva, mil viiekümnes riik andis hoiule ratifitseerimis-, vastuvõtmis- või ühinemiskirja. Eesti ühines Stockholmi konventsiooniga 11. juulil 2008 Vabariigi Valitsuse korraldusega nr 346. 2010. aastal valmis Eesti Stockholmi püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete konventsiooni riiklik rakenduskava (National Implementation Plan - NIP). Konventsiooni eesmärgiks on kaitsta inimese tervist ja keskkonda püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete eest. Euroopas reguleerib Stockholmi konventsiooni täitmist peamiselt Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus (EL) nr 2019/1021 püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete kohta (uuesti sõnastatud). Konventsiooni esialgne nimekiri hõlmas peamiselt pestitsiide ja insektsiide, mille kasutamine Eestis oli lõpetatud juba aastakümneid tagasi, ning mõningaid tööstuskemikaale ja isetekkelisi, peamiselt põlemisel tekkivaid ühendeid. Uute lisatavate ainete korral on valdavalt tegemist tööstuses kasutatavate kemikaalidega. 1.3. ROTTERDAMI KONVENTSIOON Teatavate Ohtlike Kemikaalide ja Pestitsiididega Rahvusvaheliseks kauplemiseks Nõusoleku saamise korda käsitlev Rotterdami konventsiooni tekst võeti vastu 10. septembril 1998. aastal toimunud ministrite konverentsil Rotterdamis ning jõustus 24. veebruaril 2004. Euroopa Liit ratifitseeris konventsiooni 20. detsembril 2002 ning Eesti liitus konventsiooniga 13. juunil 2006. Rotterdami konventsioon loob seaduslikult siduvad kohustused rakendada eelnevalt teatatud nõusoleku protseduuri (PIC-protseduuri), mis võimaldab ametlikult teada saada ja teatavaks teha importivate riikide otsuseid selle kohta, kas nad soovivad saada edaspidi teatavate kemikaalide saadetisi, ning tagada, et eksportivad riigid neid otsuseid järgivad. Konventsiooni eesmärgiks on edendada jagatud vastutust ning soodustada poolte koostööd ohtlike kemikaalide rahvusvahelises kaubanduses, et kaitsta inimese tervist, sealhulgas tarbijate ja töötajate tervist ning keskkonda teatavate rahvusvaheliselt kaubeldavate kemikaalide ja pestitsiidide kahjuliku mõju eest ja aidata kaasa selliste kemikaalide keskkonnaohutule kasutamisele. Eksport ja import Rotterdami konventsiooni mõistes on kemikaali liikumine ühe konventsiooniosalise territooriumilt teise konventsiooniosalise territooriumile ning konventsiooni kohaldatakse keelustatud või rangelt piiratud käitlemisega kemikaalidele ja eriti ohtlikele pestitsiidivormidele. 2. EESTILE JA EUROOPA LIIDULE OLULISED TEEMAD Enne Baseli, Rotterdami ja Stockholmi konventsioonide osapoolte kohtumist toimuvad Brüsselis seda ettevalmistavad keskkonnatöögrupid (WPIEI), kus lepitakse kokku EL ühispositsioon ja sõnavõtud. Samuti toimuvad kohtumiste ajal jooksvalt ELi koordinatsiooni kohtumised. EL ühispositsioon valmib viimases WPIEIs või koordinatsioonis Genfis kohapeal. Nagu alati esindab kohtumisel Euroopa Liidu liikmesriike Euroopa Komisjon koos eesistujamaaga. Euroopa Liit osaleb läbirääkimistes ning esindab liikmesriikide seisukohti, mis on eelnevalt kokku lepitud (WPIEIdes ning koordinatsioonides). 2.1. BASELI KONVENTSIOON Baseli konventsiooni osas on Eesti ja EL jaoks oluline plasti jäätmete küsimus. Oluline on jõuda kokkuleppele plastijäätmete käitluse juhendi osas ja see kohtumisel vastu võtta. Tegemist on tehnilise juhendiga, mis paneb paika osaliste poolt aktsepteeritud keskkonnahoidlikud plastijäätmete käitlemise viisid. Šveitsi Konföderatsioon ja Ghana Vabariik esitasid osaliste kohtumisele ettepaneku muuta elektri- ja elektroonikajäätmete riikidevahelise veo korda. Ettepaneku kohaselt oleksid kõik elektri- ja elektroonikajäätmed kontrollitavad jäätmed. Ka mitte ohtlike elektri- ja elektroonika jäätmete käitlemine põhjustab ohtu inimtervisele ja keskkonnale, kui jäätmeid käideldakse mittesobival viisil. EL-s on juba menetluses jäätmevedude määruse muudatus, mille kohaselt piiratakse igasuguste jäätmete sh elektri- ja elektroonikajäätmete eksporti kolmandatesse riikidesse. Lisaks sellele, et nende jäätmete käitlemisel võib tekkida oht tervisele ja keskkonnale, on need jäätmed ka väga olulised väärismetallide allikad. Seetõttu on väga oluline, et selliseid jäätmeid käideldaks ainult sellistes käitistes, mis suudavad tagada vastava keskkonnahoidliku käitluse ja ringlusse võtta võimalikult palju väärtuslikke materjale. Šveitsi ja Ghana ettepanekule on palju toetajaid ning on suur võimalus muudatus kohtumisel vastu võtta. Euroopa Komisjon koos liikmesriikidega on teinud ettepaneku muuta Baseli konventsiooni lisa IV ehk jäätmekäitlustoiminguid (R ja D koodid). See ettepanek, aga vajab rohkem läbirääkimisi, sest riikidel on sellel teemal palju eriarvamusi. Suure tõenäosusega selle lisa muutmise töö jätkub ka peale kohtumist. 2.2. STOCKHOLMI KONVENTSIOON Stockholmi konventsiooni osas on Eesti ja EL jaoks oluline konventsiooni vastavuse ja täitmise hindamise ning vastavusmehhanismi (compliance mechanism) läbirääkimistes edasi liikumine tõhusa teksti ning selle vastuvõtmise suunas, eelmistel COP-del pole suudetud riikide vahel leida konsensust. Lisaks on oluline, et saavutatakse kokkulepe perfluoroheksaansulfoonhappe (PFHxS), selle soolade and PFHxS-ga seotud ühendite lisamiseks konventsiooni A lisasse. Aine lisamisele on väljendanud vastuseisu Vene Föderatsioon. Vaadatakse üle olemasolevad ja vajaminevad erandid püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete konkreetsele kasutusaladele. Hinnatakse senist arengut PCB ja DDT kõrvaldamise osas, valmistatakse ette polübroomitud difenüüleetrite hinnangut ja olukorda kirjeldavat dokumenti, nimetatakse uued liikmed püsivate orgaaniliste saasteainete hindamise komiteesse (POP Review Committee (POPRC)) ja esitletakse POPRC veel pooleliolevat tööd hindamise all olevate ainetega. Käsitletakse ka mitmeid konventsiooni nõuete täitmise aruandlusega seotud küsimusi. Kuna püsivatest orgaaniliste saasteainetest koosnevate, neid sisaldavate ja nendega saastunud jäätmete käitlemiseks on välja töötatud tehnilised juhendid Baseli konventsiooni raames, uuendatakse ja koostatakse neid vastavalt ainete lisamisega Stockholmi konventsiooni lisadesse. Kohtumisel oodatakse mitme tehnilise juhendi vastuvõtmist. 2.3. ROTTERDAMI KONVENTSIOON Kemikaali hindamise komitee on esitanud 7 kemikaali konventsiooni III lisasse lisamiseks. III lisa sisaldab pestitsiide ja tööstuskemikaale, mis on keelatud või rangelt piiratud kasutusega tervise või keskkonna seisukohast lähtuvalt kahes või enamas riigis ja mille suhtes kehtib PIC- protseduuri nõue. Eesti ja EL toetavad ainete lisamist konventsiooni lisasse III. Samuti tulevad arutlusele koostöö ja koordineerimine Rotterdami ja Minamata konventsiooni osas, rahvusvaheline koostöö erinevate organisatsioonidega ning arutatakse, kuidas ennetada ja võidelda ohtlike kemikaalide ja jäätmete illegaalse müügi ja transpordiga. Lisaks valitakse ka 17 uut liiget Chemical Review Committee’sse. 3. DELEGATSIOONI LIIKMED Keskkonnaministeerium teeb ettepaneku nimetada Baseli konventsiooni osaliste 15. kohtumise, Rotterdami konventsiooni osaliste 10. kohtumise ja Stockholmi konventsiooni osaliste 10. kohtumise delegatsiooni juhiks Keskkonnaministeeriumi keskkonnatehnoloogia osakonna nõunik Mari-Liis Ummik ning delegatsiooni liikmeteks Keskkonnaministeeriumi keskkonnatehnoloogia osakonna peaspetsialist Hannela Artus, Keskkonnaministeeriumi keskkonnakorralduse osakonna peaspetsialist Kristel Kund, Sotsiaalministeeriumi rahvatervise osakonna peaspetsialist Annemari Linno ja Keskkonnaameti jäätmebüroo peaspetsialist Katrin Kaare. Keskkonnaministeeriumi esindajate kulud üritusel osalemiseks on planeeritud Keskkonnaministeeriumi eelarvesse.
