Abstract

The Conference of the Parties

Having amended the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants to list endosulfan in Annex A to the Convention with specific exemptions,
Taking into account that many countries have banned or are phasing out the use and production of endosulfan,
Recognizing that suitable, cost-effective and safe alternatives need to be identified to facilitate the replacement of the use of endosulfan,
