根据附件 XVII 第 19 条，是否禁止从欧盟以外地区进口 CCA 处理木材？

Are imports of CCA treated wood from outside the European Union banned under Entry 19 of Annex XVII?

根据 REACH 附件 XVII 第 19 条，由于 C 型 CCA 尚未获得 98/8/EC 指令的授权，因此不能在欧盟使用其处理木材。但是，未来可以根据 98/8/EC 指令的要求提出授权申请。关于新近用 C 型 CCA 处理并从第三国进口的木材：· 第 4 a) 款仅授权使用 C 型 CCA 处理木材，前提是该杀生物剂产品已获得 98/8/EC 指令的授权。· 第 4 b) 款规定“根据 a) 点用 CCA 溶液处理过的木材可以……”这意味着在欧盟市场上销售的所有木材都必须符合第 4 a) 款的要求。因此，新近用 C 型 CCA 处理过的木材，前提是用于处理的该杀生物剂产品已获得 98/8/EC 指令的授权。虽然该指令并未对欧盟以外的木材处理机构施加一般义务，但此要求适用于任何将木材投放到欧盟市场的制造商、分销商或进口商，无论这些木材是在欧盟境内生产还是在欧盟境外生产并进口。显然，该要求不适用于在欧盟境外生产并销售木材的木材处理机构。总而言之，自2007年6月30日起，禁止将新用CCA C型处理过的木材投放市场或进口，直至含有该活性物质的生物杀灭剂产品根据98/8/EC指令的所有要求获得授权。

Under Entry 19 of Annex XVII to REACH, CCA type C cannot be used to treat wood in the EU due to the fact that it has not been authorised under Directive 98/8/EC. A request for authorisation could, however, be made in the future in line with the requirements of Directive 98/8/EC. Concerning wood newly treated with CCA type C and imported from third countries: · paragraph 4 a) authorises only the treatment of wood with CCA type C if this biocidal product is authorised under Directive 98/8/EC. · under paragraph 4 b) it is stated that "Wood treated with CCA solutions in accordance with point a) may …." This implies that all wood that is placed on the market in the EU must conform to the requirements of paragraph 4 a). Therefore wood newly treated with CCA type C may only be placed on the EU market if this biocidal product used for treatment is authorised under Directive 98/8/EC. Whilst the Directive does not impose general obligations on wood treatment installations outside the EU, this requirement is valid for any manufacturer, distributor, or importer placing wood on the EU market whether this wood is manufactured in the EU or manufactured outside the EU and imported. Obviously the requirement does not apply to wood treatment installations outside the EU producing wood for marketing outside the EU. In summary since 30 June 2007, it is prohibited to place on the market and to import wood newly treated with CCA type C, until such time as a biocidal product containing this active substance is authorised in line with all the requirements of Directive 98/8/EC.
