  3. I. GENERAL BACKGROUND • AGRICULTURE • Number of farms : 2 millions • Persons living in rural areas : 13 millions (80%) • Average surface per farm : 1.4 Ha • Pesticide used per year (Est. ) : 1 000 mt • Chemicals fertilizer per year : 50 000 mt INDUSTRY • 500 industries using chemicals (80% small industries) • Chemical inputs per year (Est.) : 80 - 100 000 mt • Dangerous waste per year : 2 750 mt Should we treat equally agrochemicals and industry chemicals? Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  4. II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS STRONG REGULATIONS Law No 92-473 dated 22 April 1992 (import, manufacture, distribution, repackaging, storage, use) Law No 7450/92 dated December 14th 1992 (labelling) Law No 7451/92 dated December 14th 1992 (storage) Law No 7452/92 dated December 14th 1992 (retailer and stockist) Interministerial Arrete No 0467/93 dated February 3rd 1993 Arrete No 6225/93 dated November 30th 1993 (Chlordane, DDT, HCH,… banned in agriculture) Law No 95-092 dated January 31st 1995 PART OF INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION 1971 RAMSAR Convention on conservation of humid zones 1992 Basle Convention on Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes(ratified in 1999) 1998 Rotterdam Convention on Prior Informed Consentment (PIC, ratified 2003) 2000 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) 2002 World Summit on Sustainable development Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  5. II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS WHAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED? 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 2005 - 2006 Harmonization of trials protocols, registration form, mutual data recognition on a regional basis (IOC) Regional initiatives with local MoA representatives (Antsirabe, Ambatondrazaka) Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  6. II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS WHAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED? INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT Voluntary and proactive approach to comply with FAO Code of Conduct Convention between members to secure complete compliance with FAO Code of Conduct Intensive training programme for dealers, subject matter specialists and farmers Technical Transportation Labeling Repackaging Storage Container Management Poisoning Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  7. II. 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 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  8. II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR ACTIONS? 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 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 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  9. II. PESTICIDE CHEMICALS WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM SAICM? • 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 Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  10. III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS CURRENT SITUATION • Loose regulatory structure: Loi cadre 99-021 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 LET’S SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED? Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  11. III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS WHAT HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED? NOT MUCH Isolated industry actions Isolated public private partnership initiatives Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  12. III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM SAICM? • 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 Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland

  13. IV. FERTILIZER CHEMICALS INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT • 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 Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 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 Global Thematic Workshop on Governance, Civil Society Participation and Strenghtening Partnerships and Waste Management and SAICM 19-21 June 2006, Geneva - Switzerland
