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

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

III. INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS
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
CURRENT SITUATION
LET’S SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

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
