Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2229 of 29 September 2015 amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of hazardous chemicals (Text with EEA relevance)
COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/2229
of 29 September 2015
amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the export and import of hazardous chemicals
Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 implements the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (‘PIC procedure’) for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade, signed on 11 September 1998 and approved, on behalf of the Community, by Council Decision 2003/106/EC (2).
It is appropriate that regulatory action in respect of certain chemicals taken pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) be taken into account.
The approval of the substance fenbutatin oxide has been withdrawn in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, with the effect that fenbutatin oxide is banned for use as pesticide and thus should be added to the lists of chemicals contained in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
The substances lead compounds, dibutyltin compounds, dioctyltin compounds, trichlorobenzene, pentachloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethene are severely restricted as industrial chemical for public use in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and thus should be added to Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 was amended in 2012 by the Commission in order to implement the decision taken under the Stockholm Convention to list endosulfan in Part 1 of Annex A to the Stockholm Convention by adding that chemical to Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004. Consequently, that chemical has been added to Part 1 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 and should be removed from Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
At its sixth meeting held from 28 April to 10 May 2013, the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention decided to include commercial pentabromodiphenyl ether, including tetra- and pentabromodiphenyl ether, as well as commercial octabromodiphenyl ether, including hexa- and heptabromodiphenyl ether, in Annex III to that Convention, with the effect that those chemicals became subject to the PIC procedure under that Convention. Those chemicals should thus be added to the list of chemicals contained in Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012.
The combined nomenclature code (CN code) is important for determination of the control measures that apply to traded goods. To ease handling of CN codes and identification of the correct control measures that apply to chemicals listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012, the CN codes that cover more chemicals than those listed in Annex I should be identified by an ‘ex’ before the CN code.
It is appropriate to grant some time to all interested parties to take the measures necessary to comply with this Regulation and to Member States to take the measures necessary for its implementation,
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Done at Brussels, 29 September 2015.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on persistent organic pollutants and amending Directive 79/117/EEC (OJ L 158, 30.4.2004, p. 7).
