| Overview : Implementation of Rotterdam Convention is one of the work areas under the SAICM to enhance protection of human health and the environment. By realizing the importance of the Rotterdam Convention, Malaysia has ratified the Rotterdam Convention on 4 September 2002, and numerous efforts have been carried out by Malaysia to fulfill the obligation as a Party under the convention. This includes, inter alia, to incorporate Annex III chemicals of the Rotterdam Convention into the Customs (Prohibition of Imports) Order 2008 and Customs (Prohibition of Exports) Order 2008. To date, final regulatory decisions of Malaysia for all the Annex III chemicals can be found at the Rotterdam Convention website (www.pic.int). Despite efforts by Malaysia in implementing Rotterdam Convention, the stocktaking study on regulatory decisions for Annex III chemicals, including import, export, transport, use and disposal of these Annex III chemicals, as well as the national action plan for the implementation of the Rotterdam Convention, are still absent. Unlike the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, where Malaysia has obtained financial supports from GEF to prepare the National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the Stockholm Convention in year 2005. At present there are no financial assistant from international organizations for the implementation of Rotterdam Convention. Taking the opportunity under the SAICM Quick Start Programme, Malaysia has requested financial support from the international organization for the implementation of the National Action Plan of the Rotterdam Convention. The output of this project is to develop the National Action Plan (NAP) for Rotterdam Convention. To apply, please visit http://jobs.undp.org/cj_view_job.cfm?cur_job_id=48214.
