POPRC-2 Highlights: Thursday, 9 November 2006 On Thursday, Chair Reiner Arndt (Germany) announced that POPRC-3 will be held from 19-23 November 2007, in Geneva, Switzerland, and that the Committee will host a side event at COP-3 to disseminate information about its work. The Committee adopted the draft work plan for the intersessional preparation of a draft risk management evaluation and a draft risk profile. It also adopted draft decisions on PFOS, penta-BDE, lindane, chlordecone, pentachlorobenzene, alpha-HCH and beta-HCH. The draft decision on HBB was deferred until a general discussion on information requests tomorrow. Discussions on the draft decisions relating to SCCPs and to octaBDE were also postponed. Delegates decided the precursors of PFOS warranted further consideration, with any decision to be taken at POPRC-3. The IISD Reporting Services (IISD RS) summary report of POPRC will be available online on Monday, 13 November 2006.
