The Secretariat, in distributing the DGDs for the above listed chemicals, invited all Parties to provide import responses by 21 July 2023, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the Convention. By decision RC-10/11, the Conference of the Parties also adopted the programme of work for the newly established Compliance Committee for the biennium 2022-2023. The Compliance Committee held its first meeting from 16 to 18 November 2022 in Geneva and all meeting documents were made available on the Rotterdam Convention website 1. OUTCOME OF THE EIGHTEENTH MEETING OF THE CHEMICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE The eighteenth meeting of the Chemical Review Committee of the Rotterdam Convention was held from 19 to 23 September 2022 in Rome, Italy, back-to-back with the eighteenth meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee of the Stockholm Convention. At its eighteenth meeting, the Committee had in front of it twenty-one notifications of final regulatory action for the following ten chemicals: Candidate chemicals Notifying Party Published in PIC Circular Amitrole Ecuador LII (December 2020) Carbaryl Mozambique LI (June 2020) Carbon tetrachloride Ecuador LII (December 2020) Mozambique LI (June 2020) Chlorfenvinphos Norway XIII (June 2001) Turkey LIII (June 2021) Mozambique LI (June 2020) Methidathion Uruguay L (December 2019) Turkey LIII (June 2021) Colombia LII (December 2020) Methyl bromide Indonesia LIII (June 2021) China L (December 2019) Methyl parathion Uruguay L (December 2019) Indonesia LIII (June 2021) Ecuador LII (December 2020) Mirex Indonesia LIII (June 2021) Malaysia LII (December 2020) Paraquat Mozambique LII (December 2020) Mozambique LI (June 2020) Thiodicarb European Union XXVII (June 2008) Turkey LIII (June 2021) 1 http://www.pic.int/TheConvention/ComplianceCommittee/Meetings/CC1/Overview/tabid/9272/language/en- US/Default.aspx Secretariat of the Rotterdam Convention Page | 3 The Committee at its eighteenth meeting recommended that two pesticides, paraquat and methyl bromide, be listed in Annex III to the Convention. Draft decision guidance documents for these chemicals will be developed in the intersessional period and considered at the nineteenth meeting of the Committee in October 2023. In addition, the Committee finalized and adopted two draft decision guidance documents for terbufos and iprodione, chemicals that were recommended for listing in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention at the Committee’s seventeenth meeting. The Committee’s recommendations, together with the related draft decision guidance documents will be forwarded to the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties in 2023 (COP-11). IMPORT RESPONSES FOR ALL ANNEX III CHEMICALS The Secretariat reminds all Parties of their obligation under Article 10 to submit import responses for all chemicals listed in Annex III. The form and instructions for the submission of import responses are available on the Convention website. 2 Parties are invited to contact the Secretariat ([email protected] or [email protected]) for any assistance in that regard. IMPORT RESPONSES FOR CHEMICALS RECOMMENDED FOR LISTING IN ANNEX III The Secretariat reminds all Parties of decisions RC-3/3, RC-4/4, RC-6/8, RC-8/6, RC-8/7 and RC-9/5 of the Conference of the Parties. These decisions encouraged Parties to make use of available information; to make informed decisions regarding the import and management; and to inform other Parties of those decisions using the information exchange provisions in Article 14. These decisions address the following chemicals: acetochlor; carbosulfan; chrysotile asbestos; fenthion (ultra-low volume (ULV) formulations at or above 640 g active ingredient/L); and liquid formulations (emulsifiable concentrate and soluble concentrate) containing paraquat dichloride at or above 276 g/L, corresponding to paraquat ion at or above 200 g/L. In line with these decisions and paragraph 1 of Article 14, Appendix VI of the PIC Circular contains information on chemicals recommended by the Chemical Review Committee for listing in Annex III but for which the Conference of the Parties has yet to take a final decision. Parties wishing to take advantage of this information exchange and to respond to the encouragement of the Conference of the Parties are invited to consult the information available on the Rotterdam Convention website and transmit any decisions regarding the import and management of these chemicals to the Secretariat. NOTIFICATIONS OF FINAL REGULATORY ACTIONS (FRAs) The Secretariat encourages Parties to review Appendix I, Part A of the PIC Circular (Summary of notifications of final regulatory action that have been verified to contain all the information required by Annex I to the Convention), which provides information on chemicals for which Parties have taken actions that do not require subsequent regulatory action and the purpose of which is to ban or severely restrict a chemical. These notifications were received from Parties between 1 May 2022 and 31 October 2022. More detailed information on the final regulatory actions (FRAs) taken for these chemicals is available in the database on the Convention website. 3 The Secretariat also draws the attention of Parties to the list of chemicals in Appendix V, Part A, of the PIC Circular (Notifications of final regulatory action for chemicals not listed in Annex III and verified as containing all the information required by Annex I to the Convention). These notifications were received from Parties between September 1998 and 31 October 2022. The Secretariat encourages Parties, where appropriate, to give priority to these chemicals when considering final regulatory actions and in preparing notifications. If Parties require assistance in bridging information or in 2 http://www.pic.int/tabid/1165/Default.aspx. 3 http://www.pic.int/tabid/1368/Default.aspx. Secretariat of the Rotterdam Convention Page | 4 preparing notifications of final regulatory actions, they may contact the Secretariat at [email protected] or [email protected]. The Secretariat is inviting the Parties to make use of the Final Regulatory Action Evaluation Toolkit (FRAE Toolkit) aimed at assisting and enhancing the efforts by DNAs, especially those from developing country Parties and Parties that are countries with economies in transition, to take scientifically sound decisions and submit notifications of final regulatory actions (FRAs) under Article 5. The FRA Evaluation Toolkit is available on the Convention website. 4 VERIFICATION OF CONTACT DETAILS FOR DESIGNATED NATIONAL AUTHORITIES (DNAs) Designations, including new notifications and updates to the DNAs received between 1 May 2022 and 31 October 2022, are included in the enclosed Register of DNAs.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PIC CIRCULAR The Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (PIC) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade entered into force on 24 February 2004. The purpose of the PIC Circular is to provide all Parties, through their designated national authorities, with the information required in Articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13 and 14 of the Convention. The decision guidance documents on relevant chemicals dispatched to Parties in line with paragraph 3 of Article 7 are sent out in a separate communication. The PIC Circular is published every six months, in June and December. The present Circular contains information related to and received during the period from 1 May 2022 to 31 October 2022. Information received after 31 October 2022 will be included in the next PIC Circular. Designated national authorities are requested to review the information related to their countries and communicate any inconsistencies, errors or omissions to the Secretariat. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ROTTERDAM CONVENTION 2.1 Designated national authorities In line with paragraph 3 of Article 4, Parties shall notify the Secretariat on designations of or changes to designated national authorities. A register of designated national authorities is distributed together with the present PIC Circular and is also available on the Rotterdam Convention website.1 2.2 Notifications of final regulatory action Parties that have adopted final regulatory actions shall notify the Secretariat within the timeframes established in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 5. Appendix I of the PIC Circular contains a synopsis of all notifications of final regulatory action received from Parties since the last PIC Circular, in line with paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 5 of the Convention. It contains summaries of notifications of final regulatory action that have been received by the Secretariat and verified to contain the information required by Annex I to the Convention (Part A), information regarding notifications which do not contain all the information (Part B), as well as those notifications that are still under verification by the Secretariat (Part C). Appendix V contains a list of all the notifications of final regulatory action for chemicals not listed in Annex III, received during the interim PIC procedure and the current PIC procedure (September 1998 to 31 October 2022). A database of notifications of final regulatory action submitted by Parties, including those for the chemicals listed in Annex III to the Convention, verified as containing the information required by Annex I to the Convention is also available on the Convention website.2 A synopsis of all notifications received under the original PIC procedure, which is before the adoption of the Convention in 1998, was published in PIC Circular X in December 1999.3 These notifications however do not meet the requirements of Annex I because the information requirements for notifications under the original PIC procedure were different. Although Parties are not obliged to resubmit 1 http://www.pic.int/tabid/3282/Default.aspx. 2 http://www.pic.int/tabid/1368/language/en-US/Default.aspx. 3 http://www.pic.int/tabid/1168/language/en-US/Default.aspx. PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 1 notifications submitted under the original PIC procedure,4 they may wish to consider doing so for those chemicals not presently listed in Annex III if sufficient supporting information is available. To facilitate the submission of notifications, a form for notification of final regulatory action to ban or severely restrict a chemical and instructions on how to complete it are available on the Convention website.5 2.3 Proposals for the listing of severely hazardous pesticide formulations In line with paragraph 1 of Article 6, any Party that is a developing country or a country with an economy in transition and that is experiencing problems caused by a severely hazardous pesticide formulation under conditions of use in its territory, may propose to the Secretariat the listing of the severely hazardous pesticide formulation in Annex III.

Violations to this resolution will be sanctioned as provided on Decree Law Nº 3557 of 1980 (https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=7178) and according to Law N° 18755 (https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=30135) Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 04/01/2012 EUROPEAN UNION Common Name(s): Chlorpyrifos CAS number(s): 2921-88-2 Chemical Name: O,O-Diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl) phosphorothioate Final regulatory action has been taken for the category: Pesticide Final regulatory action: The chemical is banned. Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: All applications as a plant protection product. Use or uses that remain allowed: Not relevant The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing chlorpyrifos because chlorpyrifos is not approved as an active substance under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. EU Member States had to withdraw all authorisations for plant protection products containing chlorpyrifos as active substance by 16 February 2020 at the latest. Disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing chlorpyrifos is prohibited as of 16 April 2020. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: The overall conclusion of the assessment of chlorpyrifos in relation to impacts on human health, based on the information available and the proposed conditions of use, is that the approval criteria as set out in Article 4(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are not satisfied as concerns were identified with regards to: • The genotoxic potential of chlorpyrifos, which cannot be ruled out based on the information available - positive findings were found in an in vitro chromosome aberration study and two in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis assays; in vivo positive findings were found in open literature on chromosome aberration and on DNA damage caused through oxidative stress or by topoisomerase II inhibition which is considered a molecular initiating event for infant leukaemia. Consequently, health-based reference values cannot be established for chlorpyrifos and the dietary and non-dietary risk assessments cannot be conducted. • Developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) - effects were observed in the available study on developmental neurotoxicity in rats (adverse effects were seen at the lowest dose tested in rats and a no observed adverse effects level 'NOAEL' could not be established) and epidemiological evidence exists showing an association between exposure to chlorpyrifos and/or chlorpyrifos-methyl during development and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. • Based on the evidence for DNT, experts during the peer review suggested that a classification of chlorpyrifos as toxic for reproduction, category 1B, H360D 'May damage the unborn child', in accordance with the criteria set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 would be appropriate. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risk for human health from the use of plant protection products containing chlorpyrifos. PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 10 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: As regards the environmental risk assessment it should be noted that, based on the human health risk assessment, it has not been established, with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. The environmental risk assessment, although not finalised, cannot alter this conclusion since the approval criteria related to the effects on human health are not satisfied and should therefore not delay further the decision- making on the renewal of the approval of the active substance. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Not relevant. Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 10/01/2020 Complete entry into force of all provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/18 of 10 January 2020 concerning the non-renewal of the approval of the active substance chlorpyrifos was on 16 January 2020. EUROPEAN UNION Common Name(s): Mancozeb CAS number(s): 8018-01-7 Chemical Name: Manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (polymeric) complex with zinc salt Final regulatory action has been taken for the category: Pesticide Final regulatory action: The chemical is banned. Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: All applications as a plant protection product. Use or uses that remain allowed: Not relevant The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing mancozeb because mancozeb is not approved as an active substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. EU Member States had to withdraw all authorisations for plant protection products containing mancozeb as active substance by 4 July 2021 at the latest. Disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing mancozeb is prohibited as of 4 January 2022. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health and environment Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: In conclusion from the assessments made on the basis of the submitted information, no plant protection product containing the active substance mancozeb is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EU) 546/2011. According to the evaluation related to human health the following concerns were identified: • Mancozeb has to be classified as toxic for reproduction category 1B (R1B) in accordance with the criteria set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as recommended in the opinion of the Risk Assessment Committee of the European Chemicals Agency published in March 2019. Substances which are classified as R1B cannot be approved unless negligible exposure is demonstrated, or information is provided in the application to demonstrate that the active substances is necessary to control a serious danger to plant health which cannot be controlled via other available means (Art 4.7 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009). • Mancozeb meets the criteria to be identified as having endocrine disrupting properties for humans - according to the T (thyroid) modality-, which has similar consequences for approval as the classification as R1B. • Estimates of non-dietary exposure exceed the reference values for tomatoes, potatoes, cereals (for some kinds of applications) and grapevines, which are the sole uses proposed by the applicant in its application. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risk for human health from the use of plant protection products containing mancozeb. PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 11 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: In conclusion from the assessments made on the basis of the submitted information, no plant protection product containing the active substance mancozeb is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EU) 546/2011. According to the evaluation related to the environment, the following concerns were identified: • Mancozeb meets the criteria to be identified as having endocrine disrupting properties for non-target organisms -according to the T (thyroid) modality. • Mancozeb poses a high risk to birds, mammals, non-target arthropods, soil macro- organisms for all representative uses (except for tomatoes grown in high technology permanent greenhouses) as well as for aquatic organisms, except for the use on potatoes. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Reduction of risk for the environment from the use of plant protection products containing mancozeb. Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 14/12/2020 Complete entry into force of all provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2087 of 14 December 2020 concerning the non-renewal of the approval of the active substance mancozeb was 4 January 2021.

Mercury-containing measuring devices that were in use in the Community before 3 April 2009. However, Member States may restrict or prohibit the placing on the market of such measuring devices. The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: The use of mercury is severely restricted in the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/852 on mercury, Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH), Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS) and Directive 2006/66/EC (batteries and accumulators). In 2006, Directive 2006/66/EC introduced a prohibition on the placing on the market of batteries and accumulators containing mercury. In 2007, Directive 2007/51/EC introduced a restriction under Directive 76/769/EEC on the placing on the market of mercury in fever thermometers and in other measuring devices intended for sale to the general public. Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) repealed Directive 76/769/EEC. Commission Regulation (EC) No 552/2009 amended Annex XVII to REACH by incorporating in entry 18.a the restrictions on certain measuring devices containing mercury that was adopted under Directive 2007/51/EC. In 2011, Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS) stablished a restriction on the placing on the market of electric and electronic equipment to a maximum concentration value of 0.1% of mercury, allowing exemptions for certain applications for a limited time period. Commission Regulation (EU) No 847/2012 amended Annex XVII to REACH by incorporating in in entry 18.a. a restriction on the placing on the market of mercury-containing and mercury-using measuring devices intended for industrial and professional uses. The restriction started to apply from 10 April 2014. Regulation (EU) 2017/852 on mercury was adopted on May 2017. This regulation complements the European Union acquis and lays down the provisions that are needed to ensure the complete alignment of the European Union acquis with the Minamata Convention on Mercury establishing measures and conditions concerning the use and storage of and trade in mercury, mercury compounds and mixtures of mercury, and the manufacture and use of and trade in mercury-added products, and the management of mercury waste. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health and environment PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 16 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: Mercury is a chemical of global concern owing to its long-range atmospheric transport, its persistence in the environment once anthropogenically introduced, its ability to bioaccumulate in ecosystems and its significant negative effects on human health, which include significant adverse neurological and other health effects, with particular concerns expressed about its harmful effects on infants and unborn children. Mercury can be transformed to methylmercury, the most toxic form, which biomagnifies especially in the aquatic food chain, making populations and wildlife with a high intake of fish and seafood particularly vulnerable. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risk for human health from the use of mercury.

Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: Uses of thiamethoxam as a plant protection product with the exception of uses in permanent greenhouses. Use or uses that remain allowed: Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 on the placing on the market of plant protection products: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/785 severely restricted the use of thiamethoxam as plant protection product by only allowing uses as insecticide, in permanent greenhouses or for the treatment of seeds intended to be used only in permanent greenhouses. The resulting crop had to stay within a permanent greenhouse during its entire life cycle. In the meantime, i.e. on 30 April 2019, the approval of thiamethoxam expired. [Note: All approvals of active substances used in plant protection products are time-limited in the European Union.] Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 on the making available on the market and use of biocidal products: Thiamethoxam is approved in the EU under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for its use as an active substance in biocidal products for product-type 18- Insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods (pest control). The validity of the approval for PT-18 ends on 31 January 2025.

The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: The final regulatory action, i.e. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/785, severely restricting the use of thiamethoxam in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market stipulates the following: Only uses as insecticide, in permanent greenhouses or for the treatment of seeds intended to be used only in permanent greenhouses, may be authorised. The resulting crop must stay within a permanent greenhouse during its entire life cycle. EU Member States were required, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary to amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing thiamethoxam as active substance by 19 September 2018 at the latest. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Environment Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: It was concluded that only the following uses of plant protection products containing the active substance thiamethoxam may be authorised, as they are expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EU) No 546/2011: PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 19 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action • Uses in permanent greenhouses or for the treatment of seeds intended to be used only in permanent greenhouses. The resulting crop must stay within a permanent greenhouse during its entire life cycle. Furthermore, taking into account the risks for bees from treated seeds, the placing on the market and the use of seeds treated with plant protection products containing thiamethoxam should be subject to the same restrictions as the use of thiamethoxam. On the peer review of the updated pesticide risk assessment for bees for the active substance thiamethoxam considering the uses as seed treatment and granules on 28 February 2018, the following risks to the environment were identified: Risk to bees via systemic translocation in plants - residues in nectar and pollen: • A high risk at the Tier-1 was concluded for oilseed rape and maize and all bee groups. It should be noted that, in lack of specific toxicity data, the high risks for solitary bees were identified using uniquely surrogate toxicity estimation based on honeybee data (low risk not demonstrated) (treated crop scenario and succeeding crop scenario). • The Tier-2 risk assessment for uses on winter oilseed rape resulted in a high risk for: • All bee species for uses on winter oilseed rape (treated crop scenario). • Bumblebees and solitary bees treated for uses on maize (treated crop scenario). • The Tier-3 risk assessment for uses on winter oilseed rape resulted in a clear high risk for solitary bees, while the conclusion for honeybees and bumblebees was less straightforward (treated crop scenario). Despite clear and consistent effects were not recorded for honeybees and bumblebees, the analysis of the data through a Weight-of- Evidence exercise did not allow excluding the possibility of observing effects larger than negligible on the parameters linked, directly and indirectly, to the respective protection goals. Risk to bees from contamination of adjacent vegetation via dust drift: • On the basis of the Tier-1 risk assessment, a high risk to all bee groups was indicated for the uses on broccoli, Brussel sprout, cauliflower, head cabbage, kale, lettuce, carrots and maize. Nevertheless, all the previous crops with the exception of carrots and maize are sown in greenhouses. When these structures are permanent, exposure to bees is considered negligible and a low risk is concluded. • For the uses on winter oilseed rape, a high risk (based on surrogate data) was concluded for bumblebees and solitary bees. The risk assessment for honeybees could not be finalised, in lack of data about chronic toxicity to adults and HPG development (a low risk was nevertheless indicated for acute toxicity to adults and prolonged toxicity to larvae, when a deflector is used). • For the uses on sugar beet (both seeding rates), the risk assessment could not be finalised in lack of data about chronic toxicity to adults and HPG development (whereas a low risk was indicated for acute toxicity to adults and prolonged toxicity to larvae for all bee groups - for bumblebees and solitary bees only when a deflector is used). Risk to bees via consumption of contaminated water: • The refined risk assessment indicated high risk to honeybees from exposure to guttation fluids for the use in maize. Furthermore, neonicotinoids insecticides are persistent in the environment, particularly in soil. The mean/median DT50 values for thiamethoxam in soil are 174 days. Thiamethoxam fulfils the criteria for being a vP substance. It might be worth noting that the main soil metabolite of thiamethoxam is clothianidin, so that the DT50 of the active substance alone is not fully representative of the whole exposure time-variable profile. On the peer review of the updated pesticide risk assessment for bees for the active substance thiamethoxam, the following data gaps were identified: Risk to bees via systemic translocation in plants - residues in nectar and pollen: • The risk assessment for honeybees could not be finalised, in lack of data about chronic toxicity to adults and HPG development (a low risk was nevertheless indicated for acute toxicity to adults and prolonged toxicity to larvae). • The Tier-3 risk assessment for maize highlighted a low risk for bumblebees. Once again, a definitive conclusion could not be drawn for honeybees and solitary bees based on the available data. This was mainly because the available experiments were not suitable to address the risk due to exposure to PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 20 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action contaminated maize pollen, among other reasons. The data did not allow excluding the possibility of observing effects larger than negligible on the parameters linked, directly and indirectly, to the respective protection goals. Risk to bees via consumption of contaminated water: • In the absence of agreed input parameters for FOCUS surface water modelling, no exposure assessment for the representative uses could be performed. Therefore, the risk to honeybees consuming residues in surface water could not be finalised. Risk to bees from contamination of adjacent vegetation via dust drift: • For the uses on sugar beet (both seeding rates), the risk assessment could not be finalised in lack of data about chronic toxicity to adults and HPG development (whereas a low risk was indicated for acute toxicity to adults and prolonged toxicity to larvae for all bee groups - for bumblebees and solitary bees only when a deflector is used). • The available data did not allow performing any refined risk assessment for exposure via dust drift. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Reduction of risk for the environment from the use of plant protection products containing thiamethoxam. Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 29/05/2022 Complete entry into force of all provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/785 of 29 May 2018 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as regards the conditions of approval of the active substance thiamethoxam was 19 December 2018. EUROPEAN UNION Common Name(s): Thiram CAS number(s): 137-26-8 Chemical Name: Tetramethylthiuram disulfide or bis( dimethylthiocarbamoyl) disulfide Final regulatory action has been taken for the category: Pesticide Final regulatory action: The chemical is banned. Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: All applications as a plant protection product. Use or uses that remain allowed: Not relevant. The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing the active substance thiram because thiram is not approved as active substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. EU Member States had to withdraw all authorisations for plant protection products containing thiram as active substance by 30 January 2019 at the latest. Disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing thiram is prohibited as of 1 May 2019. Placing on the market and use of seeds treated with plant protection products containing thiram is prohibited as of 31 January 2020. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health and environment Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: In conclusion from the assessments made on the basis of the submitted information, no plant protection products containing thiram is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EU) No 546/2011. According to the evaluation related to human health the following concerns were identified: • A high dietary risk was identified for mammals. The information available was insufficient to satisfy the requirements set out in Article 4(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In more detail: • The consumer risk assessment through dietary intake cannot be finalised for the products of plant origin considering the outstanding data to finalise the residue definitions in primary and rotational crops and in processed commodities. Furthermore and considering the agreed toxicological reference values for PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 21 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action thiram and the complete residue datasets on thiram for apple, pear and strawberry, an acute dietary intake concern for the consumers was identified for these representative uses. • The consumer risk assessment from the consumption of drinking water could not be finalised, while a complete evaluation of the information to address the effect of water treatment processes on the nature of the residues that might be present in surface water, when surface water is abstracted for drinking water was not available, noting that the applicant has indicated that the hazardous compound NDMA has the potential to be formed if thiram or DMCS are present in the raw water treated. • During the pesticides peer review, the experts proposed the classification for thiram as Carcinogen category 2 but not as reproductive toxicant, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and therefore the conditions of the interim provisions of Annex II, Point 3.6.5 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 concerning human health for the consideration of endocrine disrupting properties are not met. However, on the basis of the available data and current knowledge (EFSA Scientific Committee, 2013), the endocrine disrupting potential of thiram could not be concluded. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risk for human health from the use of plant protection products containing thiram. Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: In conclusion from the assessments made on the basis of the submitted information, no plant protection products containing thiram is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EU) No 546/2011. According to the evaluation related to environment the following concerns were identified: • A high dietary risk was identified for birds and mammals. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Reduction of risk for the environment from the use of plant protection products containing thiram. Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 09/10/2018 Entry into force of provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1500 of 9 October 2018 concerning the non-renewal of approval of the active substance thiram, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 was by 29 October 2018. Entry into force of provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1500 of 9 October 2018 concerning the prohibition of the use and sale of seeds treated with plant protection products containing thiram, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 was by 31 January 2020. MALAWI Common Name(s): Dichlorvos CAS number(s): 62-73-7 Chemical Name: 2,2-Dichloroethenyl dimethyl phosphate Final regulatory action has been taken for the category: Pesticide Final regulatory action: The chemical is severely restricted. Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: All formulations and applications, except as indicated 2.2.1. Use or uses that remain allowed: Dichlorvos in strip form for control of insect pests in the field and in storage. The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: No Basis for the final regulatory action: The basis for the regulatory action is the nature of the product as portrayed by the hazard classification (Class 1 B) in relation to the social-economic status of the intended users. The intended users cannot afford the prescribed PPE. Summary of the final regulatory action: It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing dichlorvos other than those in strip form and intended for the control of moths in storage and mass trapping of fruit flies. From 22nd March 2019 no authorization for plant protection products containing dichlorvos can be granted or renewed except for the form that is accepted. PIC Circular LVI (56) – December 2022 22 Appendix I Synopsis of notifications of final regulatory action The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health and environment Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: Available information is insufficient to perform a risk assessment regarding the operator, worker and bystanders' exposure. Moreover, there is lack of data and the toxicity of breakdown products. Hence, it has not been demonstrated that the risks for operators, workers and bystanders arising from the use of plant protection products containing dichlorvos are acceptable which is why Malawi took a decision to severely restrict its use. Based on character and mode of action of dichlorvos, and the prescribed precautions on use, the smallholder farmers who constitute over 90% of users cannot afford the PPE prescribed in using the pesticide. Most of the fields are also within the living quarters and its application would directly affect bystanders through inhalation. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risks associated with the use of products containing dichlorvos. Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: Dichlorvos poses high risks to bees and birds, according to EPA 2013 decision in application for reassessment of a group of hazardous substances. Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Potential reduction of the long- term negative impacts on the environment.
