Remarks:
The only existing legislative measure which specifically refers to sodium pentachlorophenate is: Resolution of Animal Sanitary Direction ( Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries MGAP) 2 February 1990: - Import banned of sodium pentachlorophenate, registered in this Direction with No 2661, 3936, 5053 and 4565 from 1 February 1990. - Product banned for bathing sheep, to prevent or treat parasites from 1 July 1990. This resolution concerns only formulations and uses indicated, and can't be extended to other formulations and possible agricultural and industrial uses. There's another MGAP resolution 23 September 1997, general for organochlorine, establishing "to revoke the register and sale authorization for organochlorine insecticides for all agricultural uses" with exception of dodecachloro and endosulfan. Thus it is presently impossible to register products for agricultural use with pentachlorophenol and its salts. These solutions restrict their preparations register; however, the import for any destination or use not implying registration is possible. At present sodium pentachlorophenate preparations are imported for wood treatment, formulations are no imported at a national level. These do not have to meet any special condition before being imported. In the past pentachlorophenol formulations have been elaborated, there's no evidence of use actually. Uses are: leather treatment, sheep baths and wood treatment. Imports have been registered until 1998 included, in the customs register for corresponding pentachlorophenol and its salts in chapter 29 of common external Custom. |
