ECHA: Restriction proposal PFOA and PFOA-related substances

12 January 2016

SEAC adopted its opinion on the proposal from Germany and Norway to restrict the manufacture, marketing and use of PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related substances, as well as of articles and mixtures containing these substances.
SEAC confirmed its draft opinion of September 2015 that the proposed restriction is the most appropriate EU-wide measure to address the identified risks, in terms of the proportionality of its socio-economic benefits to its socio-economic costs. Having considered almost 70 comments received during the public consultation on the draft opinion, SEAC supported some further changes to the conditions of the proposed restriction (ECHA News Alert, 9 December 2015).
