Subject: Reminder – invitation to respond to questions (Deadline 31 March
2026) and COP12 calls for information
 
Dear Sir, Dear Madam, 
 
Further to the email transmitted on 22 January 2026, the Secretariat
would like to remind all Parties that they are invited to respond to the
questions to collect and exchange information on implementation of the
Rotterdam Convention by 31 March 2026.
 
A PDF version of the letter and questions to the Parties have been made
available on the Rotterdam Convention website at
https://www.pic.int/TheConvention/Communications/tabid/3464/language/en-US
/Default.aspx As mentioned in the letter, a login and password have been
provided to each Party’s OCP/s in a separate email, allowing access to an
online request to submit information. We would please recall that
Designated national authorities and OCPs are invited to cooperate and
coordinate to provide on behalf of a Party one consolidated response to
the call for information. 
 
In addition, please note that a call for information has also been sent
to Parties to the Rotterdam Convention in follow-up to COP-12. The letter
and related information are available on:
https://www.pic.int/tabid/10261/. The calls for information include: 
•              Invitations to Parties to communicate to the Secretariat
national definitions for the term “pesticide”, information that might
assist other Parties to prepare and notify final regulatory actions;
•              Information on resources and tools available to support
governments and other stakeholders in implementing effective, best
practice chemical management systems and their experiences in using such
resources and tools, as well as information on provisions under the
Rotterdam Convention that may be relevant for quality standards in the
area of agriculture and food production. 
 
Please do not hesitate to contact the Secretariat should you have any
questions or need further information on this matter. The Secretariat
expresses its appreciation for those Parties that have already submitted
responses or information and looks forward to receiving as many
submissions as possible, in particular to inform the work of the
Compliance Committee.
