European Parliament
Daciana Octavia Sârbu  (S&D ),
in writing.
– I would like to thank our colleagues for their hard work on this dossier and to congratulate them on their successful negotiations with the Member States. As well as transposing the Rotterdam Convention into EU law, this agreement reflects Parliament’s additional concerns about the trade in dangerous chemicals. We are determined that the EU does not become complicit in the export of dangerous chemicals to countries which have not fully considered their impact and which may lack the capacity to use, store and dispose of them safely. I welcome the guarantees that this agreement provides, particularly with regard to those chemicals which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction.
