The Fourth Session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM4) convened for its third day of discussions on Wednesday, 30 September, in Geneva, Switzerland. In the morning, the contact groups on the overall orientation and guidance (OOG), sound management of chemicals and waste beyond 2020, and emerging policy issues (EPIs) reported back on the previous evening’s discussions. Discussions then turned to agenda items under EPIs and other issues of concern, which included debate on highly hazardous pesticides, lead in paint, chemicals in products, hazardous substances within the life-cycle of electrical and electronic products, and nanotechnologies and manufactured nanomaterials. In the afternoon, ICCM4 resumed debate on EPIs and other issues of concern, including perfluorinated chemicals and nanotechnologies and manufactured nanomaterials, addressed activities of the Secretariat and the budget, and discussed the date and venue for ICCM5. The contact group on the OOG met in parallel to afternoon plenary, while the contact group on EPIs convened in the late afternoon and continued to work into the evening. Side events also took place during lunch and in the evening. |
