Abstract The main purposes of the Regulation are to implement within the European Community the Rotterdam Convention on the prior informed consent (PIC) procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade signed by the Community on 11 September 1998, to establish a similar procedure for chemicals which qualify for PIC status, and to maintain in force a common export notification procedure for chemicals either banned for use or whose use is severely restricted within the Community. The chemicals concerned are listed in Annex I Parts 1, 2 and 3 to the Regulation, whose Article 22 provides for the review of Annex I by the European Commission at least every year. Article 22 further provides for the making of amendments to Annex I, and also to Annexes II, III, IV and VI which give particulars for administrative requirements under the regulation, to be delegated to the European Commission. The European Commission acts as the central administrative authority for all member states for contact with other parties to the Convention and with non-parties. Designated national authorities are to be appointed to administer the Regulation within each member state.
