Overview

At Forum V the IFCS took stock of the progress achieved on the commitments and
recommendations made at previous sessions and charted the course for work in a number of new areas. In light of the adoption of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) by the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM) in February 2006, Forum V considered the future role of IFCS as a contribution to the implementation of SAICM.
