ANNEX
COMMISSION STATEMENT CONCERNING THE STATUS OF MERCURY AND ARSENIC UNDER THE PIC REGULATION
The Commission stresses that, in accordance with Article 22(3) of Regulation (EC) No 304/2003, if metallic arsenic were to be banned or severely restricted in the Community, a proposal would be made to adapt the relevant annex. It further notes that work is ongoing in the Council and Parliament on a proposal for an export ban on mercury out of the Community, thus going beyond the prior informed consent requirement in the Rotterdam Convention and the EC Regulation implementing it.
