European Union is adding 40 chemicals in the Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 (PIC Regulation), including 35 pesticides and 5 used as industrial chemicals, such as abamecti, difenacoum, fenpropimorph, dimethomorph, triadimenol and penflufen.
The amendment, namely Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3199, was released on the Official Journal of the European Union on December 31, 2024. It shall apply from March 1, 2025.
The inclusion of chemicals in Annex I to the PIC Regulation means that companies need to make an export notification to ECHA before their export activities. In addition, most of the newly added substances (38) are also subject to the additional requirement of explicit consent from the authorities of the importing country, as they are included in both part 1 and part 2 of the Annex I.
To align with the inclusion of PFHxS, its salts and related compounds to the Stockholm Convention, this group of persistent oragnic pollutants is also listed in Annex V to PIC Regulation with an export ban.
Background
The PIC Regulation governs the trade of certain hazardous chemicals that are banned or severely restricted in the EU. It places obligations on companies that wish to export these chemicals to non-EU countries or import them into the EU.
The European Commission annually updates PIC Annex I, which lists the chemicals subject to export notification and explicit consent from the importing country. It now includes 321 entries.
