The SAICM secretariat, in collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is organizing the fifth EU-JUSSCANNZ regional meeting on the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) in Paris, on 14 February at the OECD Headquarters.

The aim of the meeting is to review progress and provide guidance on implementation of SAICM, identify regional priorities, exchange experience and share information on activities undertaken at the national and regional levels, review and provide input to the draft document on the Overall Orientation and Guidance to facilitate achievement of the 2020 goal of sound chemicals management and to consult within the region on preparations for the upcoming second meeting of the Open-ended Working Group and the fourth session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM4).

The EU-JUSSCANNZ regional meeting is the fourth in the series of regional meetings to be organized by the secretariat since ICCM3 held in Nairobi in September 2012.
