The IOMC (Inter Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals) is actively participating in the SAICM development process.

The document also presents background information on the development of INFOCAP.

The IOMC notes with concern that a number of mechanisms are in place to provide information on chemicals management capacity building at the international level.

(i) Integrated chemicals management, based upon the coordinated and integrated approaches for sound management of chemicals and wastes recommended in chapters 19 and 20 of Agenda 21

Further development of a strategic approach to international chemicals management

The secretariat has the honour to circulate, in the annex to the present note, a paper submitted by the Inter Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) on information sources and exchange on capacity building for chemicals management, for the consideration of the Preparatory Committee at its third session.

It should be noted that, in connection with the theme of chemicals management, documents UNEP GCSS.IX 6 and Add.1 contain information on the process for the development of a strategic approach to international chemicals management, as requested by decision 23 9 (Chemicals management), paragraph 12.

In accordance with the Act concerning the educational system, art schools are managed by the Minister of Culture and Art, agriculture and food management schools by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Economy, and medical schools by the Minister of Health and Social Welfare.

The establishment of IOMC has strengthened the coordination of activities in chemical assessment and management and reduced the chances of duplication.

Paper submitted by the Inter Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals on ways of monitoring progress in the implementation of the strategic approach to international chemicals management (SAICM), including proposed criteria for a SAICM oversight body

The IOMC assumes that this request was probably based on the premise that SAICM should result in an effective and non duplicative mechanism to facilitate information exchange in the area of chemicals management capacity building.

The SAICM development process is co convened by UNEP, the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety and the Inter Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals.

The UNEP Chemicals programme will continue to cooperate with other organizations participating in the Inter Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) and the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) in the preparations of and follow up to the International Conference on Chemicals Management.

Further development and adoption of a strategic approach to international chemicals management
