PART 1: Introduction
Welcome to the consultation on the review of the Prohibited Materials List (PML).
Thank you for taking the time to participate. First you will find an introduction to the topic and
consultation process and then you will be asked the consultation questions. The whole process
should take you around 15 to 20 minutes.
General Introduction
Fairtrade Standards support the sustainable development of disadvantaged small-scale farmers and
workers. Producers and traders must meet applicable Fairtrade Standards for their products to be
certified as Fairtrade. Within Fairtrade International, Standards & Pricing (S&P) is responsible for
developing Fairtrade Standards. The procedure followed, as outlined in the Standard Operating
Procedure for the Development of Fairtrade Standards, is designed by Fairtrade and compliant with
all requirements of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Setting Social and Environmental Standards.
This involves a wide consultation with stakeholders to ensure that new and revised standards reflect
Fairtrade International’s strategic objectives are based on producers’ and traders’ realities and meet
consumers’ expectations.
You are invited to participate in this consultation and contribute to the review of PML. For this
purpose, we kindly ask you to comment on the proposed changes to the requirements suggested in
this document and encourage you to give explanations, analysis and examples underlying your
statements. All information we receive from respondents will be treated with care and kept
confidential.
Please submit your comments to the Project Manager Arayath Kooteri Sajindranath at:
s.arayath-kooteri@fairtrade.net by 15.02.2016. If you have any questions regarding the draft
standard or the consultation process, please contact the Project Manager by email.
Following the consultation round we will prepare a paper compiling the comments made, which will be
emailed to all participants and also be available here http://www.fairtrade.net/standards-work-inprogress.html under the section for the Review of the of Fairtrade Prohibited Materials List (PML).
Taking into account all the comments received, the draft standard will be amended and presented for
approval in 2016.
Background and Objectives
After 4 years of implementation, Fairtrade International is reviewing its List of Prohibited Materials
(PML). This list encompasses materials that are forbidden by Fairtrade (red list materials) and
materials that are monitored in view of phase out (amber list materials). In the interim, various
PMLConsultation 15.12.2015
International conventions and bodies have periodically revised and added new pesticides to lists of
highly hazardous pesticides based on accumulated knowledge over toxicity and safety of these
chemicals. The revision of the PML is extremely important, as it deals with the safety of farmers and
workers and also the protection of the environment. The current version of the Trader Standard (ver
01.03.2015) has made compliance to the PML applicable for the traders handling Fairtrade products
from January 2017. Thus traders certified by Fairtrade will need to monitor pesticides in their
processes and exclude the use of materials included in the red list as of 2017. The PML is now also
applicable to the traders handling young plant materials. The changes in the Generic and product
standards thus also make it imperative that the list of pesticides are relooked.
Project and Process Information
This standard review project started on 26th January 2015. The project assignment (PA) is available
at: http://www.fairtrade.net/standards-work-in-progress.html.
Confidentiality
All information we receive from respondents will be treated with care and kept confidential. Results of
this consultation will only be communicated in aggregated form. All feedback will be analysed and
used to draw up the final proposal. However, when analysing the data we need to know which
responses are from producers, traders, licensees, etc. so we kindly ask you provide us with
information about your organization.

2) Criteria for classification of pesticides to Red and Amber list
Following on the Highly Hazardous Pesticides approach developed by the Pesticide Action Newtork
(PAN) International, Fairtrade International (FI) has drawn up a list of pesticides that are considered
hazardous to the human health and to the environment and needs to be phased out or used under
extreme caution. The criteria used are 1) pesticides prohibited by international conventions, which six
members of ISEAL including Fairtrade International has committed to remove from circulation
(Persistent organic pollutant (POP): Stockholm Convention; Ozone depleting: Montreal Protocol;
Listed in Prior Informed Consent list (PIC): Rotterdam Convention), 2) high toxicity (WHO Class 1a
and 1b; Very toxic by inhalation (GHS classification), 3) hazard to human health (Carcinogenic,
Repro-toxic, Mutagenic and Endocrine disruption), and 4) known hazards to the environment (very
bio-accumulative; very persistent in water; soil or sediment; very toxic to aquatic organisms bioaccumulative and bee toxicity).
Using the above mentioned criteria the pesticides have been categorized into a tentative Red List
(which are not be used on Fairtrade crops) and an Amber list (which are to be used under caution).
The tentative list is presented in Annex 1.
2.1 Red List Classification
The Criteria for classifying a Red List pesticide are 1) Listed in conventions, 2) High toxicity 3) Known
hazard to human health (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, Repro-toxic, Endocrine disruptor), 4) Extremely
hazardous to the environment (two of the following three effect on environment a) bio-accumulation b)
Very persistent in water, soil or sediment c) Very toxic to aquatic organisms) 5) extremely bee toxic
like Neo-nicotinoides
Q 2.1: Do you agree to the criteria for classifying Red List Pesticides?
☐ Agree strongly
☐ Agree mostly
☐ Disagree (Please explain the reasons and a counter proposal (if any) in the comments field)
Comments
2.2 Amber List Classification
PMLConsultation 15.12.2015
The Criteria for Classifying an Amber list pesticide are 1) Possible Carcinogen 2) Known environment
hazard (at least one of the four effect a) bio-accumulation b) Very persistent in water, soil or sediment
c) Very toxic to aquatic organisms d) highly toxic to bees )
2.2 : Do you agree to the criteria used for classifying Amber list pesticides.
☐ Agree strongly
☐ Agree mostly
☐ Disagree (Please explain the reasons and a counter proposal (if any) in the comments field)
Comments
3) Materials in the Red and Amber list
Annex 1. Gives the new tentative Prohibited Material List (Red and Amber list). The pesticides have
been listed based on criteria mentioned above. Kindly go through the list and give your inputs on the
following. The column ‘Present PML’ gives the status of the chemical in the current version of the
PML. Those that are retained in Red list are shaded in Red and those that have moved from the
amber list is shaded Amber. The unshaded ones are proposed new entries.
3.1 Red to Amber
3.1.1: Do you see any material in the Red list, that you feel should be placed in the Amber list)
☐ Yes
☐ No
If yes, please list and give your reasons
3.1.2: Do you see any material in the Red list (Annex 1; red or yellow or unshaded) that would be
extremely difficult for you (or your organization) to stop using?
PMLConsultation 15.12.2015
☐ Yes, it is difficult (please list and give your reasons )
☐ No, it is not difficult and there are alternate solutions. (Describe the alternate solution)
☐ NA (in case you don’t have any opinion)
3.2 Amber to Red
3.2: Do you see any material in the Amber list that would qualify to be placed in the Red list.
☐ Yes
☐ No
If yes please list and give your reasons
4) Specific Pesticides
4.1 Bee-toxic pesticides
Honey Bees are important friends of a farmer. Their role as pollinators are one of the most important
factors to ensure yield, this is especially true for cross pollinated crops. 60 to 80% of the world’s
flowering plant species are animal pollinated, and 35% of crop production and 60% of crop plant
species depend on animal pollinators. The calculated economic value of insect pollination was around
€150 billion annually. It is commonly said that about one third of human nutrition is due to bee
pollination. Severe cases of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) have been observed (where the bees
are disoriented and do not get back to their hives) in recent times across the world. Studies in Europe
and elsewhere have pointed the fingers to the use of Neo-nicotinoides, (Clothianidin, Imidacloprid
and Thiamethoxam), The other pesticides that are known to be highly toxic to bees are fipronil,
chlorpyriphos, cypermethrin and deltamethrin. The use of these pesticides, especially during the
foraging period of the bees can cause severe damage to the bee population. EU has periodically
PMLConsultation 15.12.2015
banned the use of these pesticides due to these concerns. Greenpeace has also advocated for the
ban of these pesticides.
4.1 : Do to agree that these highly toxic material to bees should be added to the red list:
☐ Agree strongly that they should be prohibited under all circumstances
☐ Agree, but should be prohibited only under special cases (Please describe the special cases)
☐ Disagree (Please give reasons and any alternative suggestions)
Comments
4.2 Paraquat
Paraquat (Paraquat dichloride) has been retained in the Red list due to its high toxicity. The use of
Paraquat, has been identified as the most frequent cause of non-conformity on use of a banned
substance (Red list) in audits.
4.2.1: Do you presently use Paraquat (in any of its form) for weed control in your production area
☐ Yes
☐ No
4.2.2 : In case you have stopped using Paraquat in the past, have you found a suitable replacement
or cultural practice to control weed
☐ Yes (I have stopped using Paraquat and found suitable alternatives)
☐ No (Though I have stopped using Paraquat, I have not found any alternatives)
☐ Not Applicable (I have not been using this in the past)
If yes: Describe the alternative . If No: what are the implications on your production
4.2.3: In your opinion, what are the reasons that you perceive that makes it very hard or impossible to
phase out Paraquat.
☐ Not Applicable
Reasons if applicable

Annex 1 –Prohibited Material List (Draft)
All agro chemicals, especially pesticides, can be potentially hazardous in some form or other to
human and animal health as well to the environment and therefore should be used only under caution.
FI recommends use of other methods like proper choice of crops and variety, suitable cultivation
practices and biological material for pest control (which constitutes Integrated Pest Management),
before a chemical pesticide is used for pest control.
There are a number of chemicals (both of biological origin or no-biologic origin) that have pesticidal
properties. Not all of them are approved for use in agriculture or have now become obsolete. There
are a huge number of such chemicals and may not be listed in the Red or Amber list. It is therefore
important to note that only chemicals that have been approved for use in agriculture and not listed in
the Red list are used.
