consider proposals for the inclusion in Annexes A, B and/or C to the
Convention of: Chlorpyrifos submitted by the European Union; Chlorinated
paraffins with carbon chain lengths in the range C14-17 and chlorination
levels at or exceeding 45 per cent chlorine by weight submitted by the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; Long-chain
perfluorocarboxylic acids, their salts and related compounds submitted by
Canada.
Other items on the provisional agenda of the meeting pertain to the review
of information related to specific exemptions for decabromodiphenyl ether
and short-chain chlorinated paraffins, process for the evaluation of
perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and perfluorooctane
sulfonyl fluoride (PFOSF), the review of an indicative list of substances
covered by the listing of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and
PFOA-related compounds, and the long-range environmental transport.
Additionally, the briefings will provide an overview of the outcomes of
the seventeenth meeting of the CRC held online from 20 to 24 September
2021. At its seventeenth meeting, the Committee recommended listing of
iprodione and terbufos in Annex III to the Convention. Draft decision
guidance documents for these chemicals will be developed in the
intersessional period. The consideration of the notifications of final
regulatory actions on carbaryl, chlorfenvinphos, methidathion, methyl
parathion and thiodicarb will continue at the next meeting of the
Committee.
