Annex 2

PRODUCTION OF DISCRETE ORGANIC CHEMICALS VIA BIOMEDIATED PROCESSES

Questionnaire to be Disseminated to Chemical Companies and/or Associations

Objective 1: Evaluate the number of additional declarable OCPFs, if biomediated chemical synthesis is considered for the production of DOCs. Strive for a consistent approach in declaring OCPFs within States Parties.
Objective 2: Evaluate the relevance to the Chemical Weapons Convention of the additional OCPF plant sites.

Plant site name (data for the State Party only)	
General questions	
1. Is the plant site already declared under the Convention?	□	Yes
□	No	
2. Does the plant site produce DOCs via biomediated processes?	□	Yes
□	No	
If the answer to question (2) is "yes":
3. Does the plant site produce, via biomediated processes:
(a)	DOCs in quantities above 200 tonnes/year?

(b)	A PSF chemical in quantities above 30 tonnes/year?	

□	Yes
□	No

□	Yes
□	No
