Despite severe health effects.

During the third meeting of the Conference of the Parties in Geneva this year a few countries blocked the incorporation of "Chrysotile Asbestos" in the Rotterdam Convention, despite the fact of proven severe health effects. Krygyzstan and Ukraine belong to this group of countries and we call upon our partners and the authorities in these countries to take action.
