ANNEX

(cid:145)Annex II

The information contained in this Annex is based on the PIC Circular XIII (cid:151) June 2001

1. List of chemicals subject to the international PIC procedure

The following chemicals have been introduced in the PIC procedure following control actions reported by
participating countries.

Decision Guidance Documents (DGDs) have been prepared to help countries to make import decisions concerning
those chemicals. Nevertheless, the DGD is not the only information taken into account by countries when they
take their import decision.

Therefore, the import decision does not necessarily refer to the uses mentioned in the DGD.

For some chemicals, the PIC procedure applies to certain specific formulations only. These chemicals are denoted
by the symbol (*). For further details please refer to the list of import responses in section 3.
