GENERAL BACKGROUND Should we treat equally agrochemicals and industry chemicals?

PESTICIDE CHEMICALS

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 5 PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP Establishing National Chemical Profile (update needed) Inventory and removal of 100 Tons of obsolete pesticides in 2000 with MoA Container Management with Locust Control Authority in 2000 and 2006 Training and stewardship for Locust Control Authority in 2003, 2004, 2005 Training Master Trainers in 2004 and 2005 Training with state-owned cotton company in 2004 and 2005 Drafting a bill on Chemicals Management within CNGPC (National Comitte for Chemical Management) in Harmonization of trials protocols, registration form, mutual data recognition on a regional basis (IOC) Regional initiatives with local MoA representatives (Antsirabe, Ambatondrazaka) II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS WHAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED?

PESTICIDE CHEMICALS Posters are designed to promote sustainable agriculture and pesticide safe use Container Management Safe use Poisoning Future posters with FAO, USAID and NGO

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 8 INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT Levy fee (Import Tax based on FOB price to finance Chemical Safety initiatives) implemented in Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, …. Implementation of Levy fee is not allowed by legislation  All taxes have to be directed to National Treasury Coffer Not allowed IMF, Worldbank in most countries II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR ACTIONS? We can agree to allocate part of Levy fee to identified NGOs Need to have full control on use of fund It’s not only pollutant’s supplier responsibility but also polluter and government responsibility

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 9 II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS No need to waste time on regulation inventory and national profile No need to design a Code of Conduct (FAO Code of Conduct) Vulgarize existing regulations ---> Knowledge and information Support on Training ---> Capacity building Support public education and public awareness Promote sound agricultural practices and sound use of chemicals Container and waste management (collecting and recycling) The industry cannot support these activities alone Need IGOs involvement WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM SAICM?

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 10 III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS Loose regulatory structure: Loi cadre dated August 1999 on industrial and artisanal pollution management and control No import permit required Pratically no law covering the matter (distribution, use, disposal of obsolete Stocks,…) Mushrooming workshops and small industries using chemicals inputs Weak industry facing a globalized competition CURRENT SITUATION LET’S SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 11 III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS NOT MUCH WHAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED? Isolated industry actions Isolated public private partnership initiatives

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 12 III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS Coordination Help setting a Chemical Regulatory Board Support in finalising the draft bill Design laws for chemical management Implementation of International Conventions Vulgarize and implement the designed laws Force competing countries to adopt same rules (level the playing field) Measures to help industry WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM SAICM?

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 13 IV. FERTILIZER CHEMICALS Professionalization of import and distribution (P-P Partnership) Proactive participation on multistakeholder platform Systematic communication with MoA Agreed on voluntary approach to set standards on:  product control and analysis  acceptable variation on standard (component)  labelling Commitment for dealer training INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 14 III. FERTILIZER CHEMICALS Promote sound practices Design legislation (packaging, labeling, systematic analysis, distribution,…) Communication supports WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM SAICM

Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland 15 IV. CONCLUSION Industry willing SAICM implementation No need for regulatory works on pesticides but need in industry chemicals and fertilizer chemicals Industry will continue public private effective partnership Importance of transparency and accountability Full support from industries to participate actively but:  we want to be involved in key issues  participate in decisions for finance spending  funds to be allocated to a multistakeholder secretariat for knowledge and information initiatives and capacity building actions
