Following the adoption of the EFSA opinion on PFOS and PFOA in December 2018, we would very much appreciate the opportunity to meet with the European Commission to discuss next steps from a regulatory point of view, as well as how these might take into account some of the latest scientific developments related to effects on cholesterol levels - which are not reflected as far as we are aware in the EFSA opinion. As you might know, 3M completed a voluntary phase out of manufacture and use of PFOS and PFOA in 2008. We nevertheless remained committed to furthering scientific research of PFOS and PFOA and to working with regulators, scientists and community stakeholders. In addition to funding studies at leading global research institutions, 3M has, over the past three decades, conducted, collaborated on and published hundreds ofits own studies on PFAS. Our toxicologist, and our epidemiologist, meeting to provide an overview of the latest scientific evidence. would be happy to join the Would you be available to meet in February or early March? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, 3NI Science. Applied to Life."'
