Following the commitment on the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, the Commission has launched an initiative which aims at prohibiting the import and/or export of certain hazardous chemicals that are banned in the EU.
The Commission will prepare an impact assessment and an evaluation of Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 concerning the export and import of hazardous chemicals and is therefore launching in parallel a consultation to gather more information and inputs. The consultation will include a Call for Evidence and a Public Consultation, available here.
We would like to encourage stakeholders to participate to these consultations and also to share the information across their networks. For any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us!
