(2)Annex III as set out in First Schedule of the Principal Regulations is hereby revoked and replaced by Annex III as set out in the Schedule to these regulations SCHEDULE Annex II (Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1237/97 27 June 1997 amending Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92 concerning the export and import of certain dangerous chemicals) The information contained in this Annex is based on the PIC Circular VI - July 1996 and on the Update of PIC Circular VI - January 1997 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. For aldrin, dieldrin, DDT, dinoseb & dinoseb salts, fluoroacetamide, HCH, chlordane, chlordimeform, EDB, heptachlor, mercury compounds, reported control actions refer to pesticide use (as defined by the FAO/UNEP). For crocidolite, PBBs, PCBs, PCTs and tris(2,3 dibromopropyl) phosphate, reported control actions refer to industrial use. Decision Guidance Documents (DGDs) have been prepared by UNEP/FAO (IRPTC) to help countries to make import decisions concerning those chemicals. Nevertheless, the DGDs are 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 DGDs.
