In a morning plenary session on Wednesday, POPRC-6 considered several issues, including intersessional work on toxic interactions, a proposal to highlight POPs-free products, and the implementation of paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 3 of the Stockholm Convention (regulatory and assessment schemes for new and existing pesticides and industrial chemicals).
In a late afternoon plenary session convening at 4:30 pm, POPRC-6 continued deliberations, addressing, among other agenda items, debromination of brominated flame retardants and intersessional work on substitution and alternatives.
On Wednesday, POPRC members also met in drafting groups on endosulfan and on the work programmes on new POPs. A contact group on HBCD was scheduled to meet in an evening session. |
