From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: (GROW) (GROW);_;_; RE: Archroma Letter/ C6 transported intermediates under PFOA POP regulation & C9C14 REACH restriction My has asked me to reply to your email. Many thanks again for outlining the issue of the CG side-chain fluorinated transported intermediates and the entry of for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (EU POP Regulation) and the restriction entry on C9-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids (9-C14 PFCAs) under REACH. As you know, the issue is well known in our unit, also because of the meetings we had with you in the recent past. Due to that, and due to the ongoing REACH revision, we believe that a meeting is currently not needed. We would also like to emphasize that we are in close contact with DG ENV on the issue since they are co responsible for REACH and have the lead on the EU POP Regulation. In the particular case of the CG side-chain fluorinated transported intermediates we need to take any further steps in parallel under REACH and the EU POP Regulation. Many thanks again for your email and for outlining your proposal, of which we take note. -Best regards, Europ ean Commission DG for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs REACH Unit - GROW/Fl B- 1049 Brussels/Belgium ropa.eu 1
