A National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention is a plan explaining how a Party is going to implement the obligations under the Convention and make efforts to put such a plan into operation (<a href="http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/conf/UNEP-POPS-CONF-4-AppendixII.5206ab9e-ca67-42a7-afee-9d90720553c8.pdf#Article%207">Article 7</a>). Changes in the obligations arising from amendments to the Convention or its annexes, for example when a new chemical is listed into the annexes of the Convention, will require that a Party is to review and update its implementation plan, and transmit the updated plan to the Conference of the Parties (COP) within two years of the entry into force of the amendment for it, consistent with paragraph 1 (b) of the Convention (according to paragraph 7 of the annex to decision SC-1/12). </p> <p>The <strong>Minamata Convention</strong> requires, under its article 17, paragraph 4, that each Party designates a National Focal Point for the exchange of information under it, including with regard to the consent of importing Parties under Article 3. Pursuant to Article 21 of the Minamata Convention, each party to the Convention shall report to the COP on the measures it has taken to implement the provisions of the Convention, on the effectiveness of such measures and on possible challenges in meeting the objectives of the Convention. In decision MC-1/8 on the Timing and format of reporting by the Parties, the COP at its first meeting (2017) agreed on the full format of reporting and decided that each Party shall report every four years using the full format and report every two years on four questions marked by an asterisk in the full format. The COP further decided on the following timing with regards to the short and full reporting: 31 December 2019 as the deadline for the first short national report; 31 December 2021 as the deadline for the first full national report. </p> <p>The <strong>Montreal Protocol</strong> requires, under its Article 7, that each Party provides to the Secretariat for each controlled substance statistical data on its annual production, amounts used for feedstocks, amounts destroyed by technologies approved by the Parties, imports from and exports to Parties and non-Parties respectively and amount of the controlled substance listed in Annex E used for quarantine and pre-shipment applications, for the year during which provisions concerning those substances entered into force for that Party and for each year thereafter. Each Party shall also provide to the Secretariat statistical data on its annual emissions of trifluoromethane (HFC-23) per facility. The calculation of control levels is provided in Article 3 of the Protocol. This reporting enables monitoring of the implementation of the Protocol, and compliance with the control measures under the protocol. Additionally, under Article 4B, each party is required to establish and implement a system for licensing the import and export of new, used, recycled and reclaimed controlled substances. Each Party is required, within three months of the date of introducing its licensing system, to report to the Secretariat on the establishment and operation of that system. </p><div class="footnotes"><div><sup class="footnote-number" id="footnote-2">1</sup><p><sup> </sup> The parameters presented below are based on the obligations of the Parties to transmit information to the Secretariat, whatever its national circumstances.

<p><strong>Concepts:</strong></p>
<p>Parties to the <strong>Basel Convention</strong> have an obligation to present an annual national report as provided for by Article 13, paragraph 3 in order to enable monitoring of the implementation of the Basel Convention by its Parties. The reports are to contain, inter alia, information regarding transboundary movements of hazardous wastes or other wastes in which Parties have been involved, including the amount of hazardous wastes and other wastes exported, their category, characteristics, destination, any transit country and disposal method as stated on the response to notification, the amount of hazardous wastes and other wastes imported in their category, characteristics, origin, and disposal methods; information on accidents occurring during the transboundary movement and disposal of hazardous wastes and other wastes and on the measures undertaken to deal with them; information on disposal options operated within the area of their national jurisdiction; and other information as per reporting format.</p>
<p>Import responses under the <strong>Rotterdam Convention</strong> are the decisions provided by Parties indicating whether or not they will consent to import the chemicals listed in Annex III of the Convention and subject to the prior informed consent (PIC) procedure. Article 10 of the Rotterdam Convention sets out the obligations of Parties with respect to the future import of chemicals listed in Annex III.</p>
<p>Under the <strong>Stockholm Convention</strong>, a Party has an obligation to report on the measures it has taken to implement the provisions of the Convention and on the effectiveness of such measures in meeting the objectives of the Convention. The national reports include statistical data on the total quantities of production, import and export of each of the chemicals listed in Annex A and Annex B or a reasonable estimate of such data; and to the extent practicable, a list of the States from which it has imported each substance and the States to which it has exported each substance. A National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention is a plan explaining how a Party is going to implement the obligations under the Convention and make efforts to put such a plan into operation (<a href="http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/conf/UNEP-POPS-CONF-4-AppendixII.5206ab9e-ca67-42a7-afee-9d90720553c8.pdf#Article%207">Article 7</a>). Changes in the obligations arising from amendments to the Convention or its annexes, for example when a new chemical is listed into the annexes of the Convention, will require that a Party is to review and update its implementation plan, and transmit the updated plan to the Conference of the Parties (COP) within two years of the entry into force of the amendment for it, consistent with paragraph 1 (b) of the Convention (according to paragraph 7 of the annex to decision SC-1/12). </p>
<p>The <strong>Minamata Convention</strong> requires, under its article 17, paragraph 4, that each Party designates a National Focal Point for the exchange of information under it, including with regard to the consent of importing Parties under Article 3. Pursuant to Article 21 of the Minamata Convention, each party to the Convention shall report to the COP on the measures it has taken to implement the provisions of the Convention, on the effectiveness of such measures and on possible challenges in meeting the objectives of the Convention. In decision MC-1/8 on the Timing and format of reporting by the Parties, the COP at its first meeting (2017) agreed on the full format of reporting and decided that each Party shall report every four years using the full format and report every two years on four questions marked by an asterisk in the full format. The COP further decided on the following timing with regards to the short and full reporting: 31 December 2019 as the deadline for the first short national report; 31 December 2021 as the deadline for the first full national report. </p>
<p>The <strong>Montreal Protocol</strong> requires, under its Article 7, that each Party provides to the Secretariat for each controlled substance statistical data on its annual production, amounts used for feedstocks, amounts destroyed by technologies approved by the Parties, imports from and exports to Parties and non-Parties respectively and amount of the controlled substance listed in Annex E used for quarantine and pre-shipment applications, for the year during which provisions concerning those substances entered into force for that Party and for each year thereafter. Each Party shall also provide to the Secretariat statistical data on its annual emissions of trifluoromethane (HFC-23) per facility. The calculation of control levels is provided in Article 3 of the Protocol. This reporting enables monitoring of the implementation of the Protocol, and compliance with the control measures under the protocol. Additionally, under Article 4B, each party is required to establish and implement a system for licensing the import and export of new, used, recycled and reclaimed controlled substances.

<p><strong><em>Información:</em></strong> Las Partes del Convenio de Basilea tienen la obligación de presentar un informe nacional anual, tal como se establece en el apartado 3 del artículo 13, para permitir el seguimiento de la aplicación del Convenio de Basilea por sus Partes. Los informes deben contener, entre otras cosas, información relativa a los movimientos transfronterizos de desechos peligrosos u otros desechos en los que hayan participado las Partes, incluida la cantidad de desechos peligrosos y otros desechos exportados, su categoría, características, destino, cualquier país de tránsito y método de eliminación, tal como se indica en la respuesta a la notificación, la cantidad de desechos peligrosos y otros desechos importados, su categoría, características, origen y métodos de eliminación; información sobre los accidentes ocurridos durante el movimiento transfronterizo y la eliminación de los desechos peligrosos y otros desechos y sobre las medidas adoptadas para hacerles frente; información sobre las opciones de eliminación utilizadas dentro de la zona de su jurisdicción nacional; y otra información según el formato de notificación.</p>
<p> Las respuestas sobre la importación en el marco del Convenio de Rotterdam son las decisiones brindadas por las Partes que indican si consentirán o no la importación de los productos químicos incluidos en el Anexo III del Convenio y que están sujetos al procedimiento de consentimiento fundamentado previo (CFP). El artículo 10 del Convenio de Rotterdam establece las obligaciones de las Partes con respecto a la futura importación de productos químicos incluidos en el Anexo III.</p>
</p> En virtud del Convenio de Estocolmo, las Partes tienen la obligación de informar sobre las medidas que han adoptado para aplicar las disposiciones del Convenio y sobre la eficacia de dichas medidas para cumplir los objetivos del Convenio. Los informes nacionales incluyen datos estadísticos sobre las cantidades totales de producción, importación y exportación de cada uno de los productos químicos enumerados en el anexo A y el anexo B o una estimación razonable de esos datos; y, en la medida de lo posible, una lista de los Estados de los que ha importado cada una de esas sustancias y de los Estados a los que ha exportado cada una de ellas. El Plan Nacional de Aplicación del Convenio de Estocolmo es un plan que explica cómo una Parte va a cumplir las obligaciones del Convenio y se esfuerza por poner en marcha dicho plan (<a href="http://chm.pops.int/Portals/0/Repository/conf/UNEP-POPS-CONF-4-AppendixII.5206ab9e-ca67-42a7-afee-9d90720553c8.pdf#Article%207">Article 7</a>). Los cambios en las obligaciones derivados de las enmiendas al Convenio o a sus anexos, por ejemplo, cuando se incluya un nuevo producto químico en los anexos del Convenio, una Parte revisará y actualizará su plan de aplicación, y transmitirá el plan actualizado a la Conferencia de las Partes en un plazo de dos años a partir de la entrada en vigor de la enmienda para ella, en consonancia con el apartado b) del párrafo 1 del Convenio (según el párrafo 7 del anexo de la decisión SC-1/12). </p><div class="footnotes"><div><sup class="footnote-number" id="footnote-2">2</sup><p><sup> </sup> Los parámetros presentados a continuación se basan en las obligaciones de las Partes de transmitir información a la Secretaría, independientemente de sus circunstancias nacionales. Otra información que sólo debe ser comunicada a la Secretaría en función de las circunstancias nacionales, como una posible definición nacional de desechos peligrosos, posibles acuerdos del artículo 11 en el marco del Convenio de Basilea, o una posible exención en el marco del Convenio de Estocolmo no se incluiría, ya sea porque la Secretaría no está en condiciones de evaluar si la obligación de transmitir información se ha materializado por sí misma, o porque las Partes tienen el derecho de no hacer uso de un derecho. <a href="#footnote-ref-2">↑</a></p></div></div>
