The Ministry of the Environment promotes from July 5-7 a national consultation on the tasks undertaken by Brazil in the Rotterdam Convention, which regulates hazardous chemicals international trade. Among the main targets of the treaty are substances used in the composition of pesticides.
The three-day meeting in Brasília will gather representatives of major institutions involved with the commitment made by Brazil in Rotterdam. "The meeting will be an important opportunity to consolidate the implementation of the treaty", says Camila Boechat, deputy manager for Chemical Safety at the MMA.
Among the main tasks already accomplished by Brazil to control hazardous chemicals is the Pesticides Act, regulated by Decree 4074, 2002.
