REPORT - Rotterdam Convention
Background
The consultation for Portuguese-speaking African countries (Angola, Cape Verde,
Guinea- Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Principe) aimed at initiating a dialogue
across Parties and (Non Parties- Angola) with similar environmental and social
concerns in the framework of Rotterdam Convention and the other two Chemicals
Conventions, Basel and Stockholm.
The consultation aimed at facilitating the identification of potential elements of a
national strategy for RC implementation and pesticides management, based on the
needs and gaps discussed during the consultation with the key stakeholders.
The integrated approach of Rotterdam Convention aims at focusing more and more
on the work with rural communities under article 6. This article assists countries in
detecting problems encountered at level of human health and the environment with
specific formulations and raise awareness at global level. It is a key piece of
information sharing for Parties that are experimenting similar problems with similar
conditions of use of a certain formulated chemical.
The work with the rural communities aims at connecting normative work with the
field level and at tackling social and environmental impact caused by pesticides use
and by the presence of other hazardous chemicals.

                                      Conventions

Overall, involved countries are members of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking
Countries (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa - CPLP), an important
multilateral forum for deepening mutual friendship and cooperation on different
topics. In particular, CPLP has approved in 2012 a Regional Strategy for Food and
Nutrition Security (ESAN-CPLP), with Priority 1 “Strengthen governance of food
security and nutrition”, Priority 2 “Promote access and utilization of food to improve
the livelihoods of the most vulnerable groups” and Priority 3 “Increase availability of
food based on small producers”. Therefore this consultation also aimed to strengthen
fruitful collaboration within this framework.

Moreover, since some countries are Small Island Developing States (SIDS) the
workshop was also aligned with the recommendations expressed during the Third
International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and the strong

                                                                            3|Page

                          GUINÉ-BISSAU - Ações chave

O processo de assinatura e ratificação da Convenção de Roterdão sobre Procedimento
de Consentimento Prévio Informado Aplicado a Certos Agrotóxicos e Substancias
Químicas Perigosos objecto de Comercio Internacional, foi pilotado pelo Ministério
do Ambiente, a semelhança das convenções de Basileia e Estocolmo. Portanto a
implementação técnica e prática da Convenção de Roterdão está a ser executada pelo
Ministério de Agricultura através do seu Serviço de Protecção Vegetal que é o Ponto
Focal Nacional e também faz o papel de AND.

A Guiné-Bissau assinou a Convenção de Roterdão no dia 10 de Setembro de 1999 e
no dia 02 de Março de 2005 foi ratificado pela Assembleia Nacional Popular através
da resolução nº 20/2005, depositado ao secretariado aos 12/06/ 2018 e
promulgado depois pelo Presidente da Republica aos 22 dias do mês de abril de
2009, através do decreto presidencial nº 19/2009.

A Legislação nacional no domínio de pesticidas e em vigor no país data de 28 de
Agosto de 2000, publicado no Boletim Oficial n°35, através do Decreto-Lei n° 7/2000.
       Esta legislação nacional permite:
           Estabelecer um sistema de homologação no conjunto dos países do
              Comité Inter-estados da luta contra a Seca no Sahel (CILSS).
           Restringir em princípio a utilização dos produtos menos tóxicos,
              através da classificação FAO/OMS.

                                                                        16 | P a g e

                          MOÇAMBIQUE - Ações chave

Indentificacao de problemas de importacao

   1. Importação ilegal de Methamidophos nas fronteiras
   2. Alguns financiadores de projetos tais como a malaria tem feito pressão no uso
      de DDT, sendo que o uso deste é mais econômico e, no entanto os resultados
      são mais eficientes no controlo de pragas, só que não viável para o meio
      Ambiente,
   3. A falta de responsabilidade dos comerciantes de pesticidas
   4. O baixo índice de escolaridade pela população no que consiste o uso por parte
      dos menores de idades.
   5. Transito de produtos químicos e pesticidas do anexo 3, para os países vizinhos.
   6. Dificuldades no preenchimento dos formulários sobre importação de
      químicos;

Ações chave

      Encontros entre os países Vizinhos para o desenho de estratégias do
       movimento de pesticidas na região (Moçambique é o único pais que já
       publicou a lista dos pesticidas proibidos, na mesma ele serve de corredor de
       entrada de muitos produtos dos quais fazem parte da lista dos proibidos).
      Desenho de estratégias de remoção do DDT do mercado Informal.
      Fortalecimento das entidades de controle de movimento dos produtos
       químicos do anexo 3,(Formação continua dos agentes fronteiriços, e o
       aumento dos mesmos, deficiência de infraestruturas de trabalho mesmo em
       grandes pontos de entradas).
      Sensibilização dos vendedores e consumidores (agricultores), sobre os
       perigos da venda ilegal e uso descuidado dos produtos químicos.
      Treinamento sobre o preenchimento dos formulários para importação e
       notificações

    alternativos aos químicos (Dias de campo);
   Montar campos de demonstração dos efeitos do uso de produtos naturais no
    controlo de pragas em algumas culturas

                     S. TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE - Ações chave

1. Panorama Nacional

   Dificuldades na obtenção de informação;
   Inexistência de dados sistematizados no serviço Nacional de Saúde sobre os
    acidentes causados por pesticidas.
   Dificuldades na obtenção dos dados sobre a formulação de pesticidas
    responsáveis por casos de intoxicação;
   Falta de políticas / estratégias na gestão de produtos químicos;
   Falta de uma Lei que regulamenta os produtos químicos;
   Falta de uma entidade que regista e homologa os produtos químicos bem como
    a falta de uma lista de pesticidas autorizados no país.
   As questões relacionadas com os produtos químicos não são incluídos nos
    programas nacionais como uma prioridade nacional;
   Fraca capacidade nacional em matéria de gestão de produtos químicos;
   Falta de uma base de dados sobre os produtos químicos;
   Recursos financeiros insuficientes ao nível dos Ministérios e serviços.
   Falta de mecanismo de planificação, de seguimento e de avaliação;
   Falta entidade nacional que trabalhe especificamente nas de gestão integrada
    de produtos químicos;
   Falta de um mecanismo para a segurança e a emergência química.
