Many thanks for your time and open exchange today.
Please find attached the discussion papers we have referred to. These are deliberately not position
paper, they are meant to openly share ideas/suggestions in the spirit of an open dialogue.
Topics covered are:
-
Level-playing field for the EU chemical industry
-
Strategic value chains / industrial ecosystems for the Recovery (we wil also submit this one as
an attachment to our contribution on the Roadmap)
-
Enforcement and enforceability
-
Endocrine Disruptors
-
One Substance, One Assessment
In relation to how to manage suspected EDs: that would be under the Substance Evaluation of REACH
for general chemicals (CoRAP), or similar Evaluation procedures for pesticides and biocides actives.
ECHA has a screening approach for al REACH registered chemicals, they could come up with a list of
substances to be further evaluated for ED properties.
However, we would also argue that a biocide or pesticide co-formulant that is registered under REACH
should be managed under REACH (we see Biocides authorities running their own ED assessment on
REACH substances) as a matter of one substance-one assessment.
On the EFSA Transparency Regulation, I understand from colleagues that they key is to find the right
balance between transparency and duly justified commercial data that could significantly harm our
competitiveness. For that, they asked EFSA to better and more involve stakeholders in the discussion.
If you have questions, let us know.
