India supports Asbestos for PIC list
Submitted by rummykhan on Wed, 2011-06-22 21:23
In a turn of events, on June 22, India agreed to the listing of chrysotile asbestos in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention or the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) list. PIC list increases transparency between trading countries by letting the importer know that it is importing hazardous substance.
India announced its position, on day 3, at a contact group meeting set up to discuss chrysotile asbestos (white asbestos) in the absence of a consensus. India received a standing ovation at the plenary for changing its stand.
