  "text": "1. The Secretary of State shall notify the Secretariat in writing of the chemicals listed in Part 2 of the GB PIC list which qualify for PIC notification.\n2. Whenever further chemicals are added to Part 2 of the GB PIC list pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 23(2), the Secretary of State shall notify those chemicals to the Secretariat. That PIC notification shall be submitted as soon as possible after adoption of the relevant final regulatory action ... banning or severely restricting the chemical, and no later than 90 days after the date on which the final regulatory action is to be applied.\n3. The PIC notification shall provide all relevant information required in Annex IV.\n4. In determining priorities for notifications, the Secretary of State shall take into account whether the chemical is already listed in Part 3 of the GB PIC list, the extent to which the information requirements laid down in Annex IV can be met, and the severity of the risks presented by the chemical, in particular for developing countries.\nWhere a chemical qualifies for PIC notification, but the information is insufficient to meet the requirements of Annex IV, identified exporters or importers shall, upon request by the Designated National Authority, provide all relevant information available to them, including that from other national or international chemical control programmes, within 60 days of the request.\n5. The Secretary of State shall notify the Secretariat in writing when a final regulatory action notified under paragraphs 1 or 2 is amended as soon as possible after adoption of the new final regulatory action, and no later than 60 days after the date on which the new final regulatory action is to be applied.\nThe Secretary of State shall provide all relevant information that was not available at the time the initial notification was made under paragraphs 1 or 2 respectively.\n6. At the request of any Party or the Secretariat, the Secretary of State shall provide additional information concerning the chemical or the final regulatory action, as far as practicable.\n...\n7. ...\nOn the basis of the information that the Secretary of State receives from the Secretariat regarding chemicals notified as banned or severely restricted by other Parties, where appropriate, the Secretary of State shall evaluate, in close cooperation with the Designated National Authority, the Scottish Ministers and the Welsh Ministers, the need to take measures ... in order to prevent any unacceptable risks to human health or the environment ....\n8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .",
