20 of these 22 substances also need consent from the authorities of the importing country before they can be exported

EU importers and exporters will also have to report their annual movements of substances to and from the EU.

Finally, a series of mercury-containing articles have also been added to Annex V to PIC and exporting them from the EU is now banned.
