Prior Informed Consent Procedure

PIC procedure

procédure PIC

a mechanism for formally obtaining and disseminating the decisions of importing Parties as to whether they wish to receive future shipments of those chemicals listed in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention and for ensuring compliance with these decisions by exporting Parties

Good to know

The PIC procedure, along with information exchange, is one of the key provisions of the Rotterdam Convention. For each chemical listed in Annex III of the Convention a decision guidance document (DGD) is prepared and sent to all Parties with a request that they take a decision as to whether they will allow future import of the chemical. The resulting decisions on future import of these chemicals (import responses) are published by the Secretariat and made available to all Parties every six months through the PIC Circular.

eelnevalt teatatud nõusoleku protseduur

Usage examples

Rotterdami konventsioon loob seaduslikult siduvad kohustused rakendada eelnevalt teatatud nõusoleku protseduuri (PIC-protseduuri), mis võimaldab ametlikult teada saada ja teatavaks teha importivate riikide otsuseid selle kohta, kas nad soovivad saada edaspidi teatavate kemikaalide saadetisi, ning tagada, et eksportivad riigid neid otsuseid järgivad.

PIC-protseduur abbreviation

prior informed consent procedure

Usage examples

The purpose of the prior informed consent procedure is to allow countries to make their own informed decisions on future imports of the chemical depending on their own needs, circumstances and uses of the chemical. However, if a Party decides not to allow any future import of a PIC chemical, then they must also ensure that any domestic manufacture and use of the chemical is banned. Imports of the chemical from non-Parties to the Convention should also not be allowed.
