Description
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat’s Registers of Specific Exemptions page for Annex A chemicals indicates the register incorporates the UV‑328 amendment provisions, and separately notes that the amendments listing chlorpyrifos and MCCPs were not incorporated because they had not yet entered into force (per the register page statement). For compliance teams, this affects how exemptions and their availability are tracked in the Convention’s official register and helps determine which COP-adopted changes are reflected in the operational exemption registry.
