Subject: European rail stakeholders' associations - briefing on PFAS
Importance: High
Dear Juraj Nociar,
On behalf of eight European rail associations, we would like to share with you our concerns on the per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) restriction proposal from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
We have attached a three-pager briefing summarising the PFAS restriction proposal and its e ects on the European rail sector. This briefing also promotes technical improvements to the PFAS restriction proposal for a balanced approach. These improvements simultaneously protect the environment and support the economic viability of a sector that is key for the decarbonisation of transport and the EU economy.
We also share with you the 68-pager contribution of the European rail sector to ECHA's public consultation on the PFAS restriction proposal we submitted in September 2023.

Should you have any questions, we are available for a meeting whenever you prefer. Thank you for your attention, Best regards, On behalf of the following European rail stakeholders' associations: Association of European Rail Rolling Stock Lessors (AERRL), Alliance of Passenger Rail New Entrants (ALLRAIL), Community of the European Railways and Infrastructure Companies (CER), European Rail Freight Association (ERFA), International Union of Wagon Keepers (UIP), International Union for Road-Rail Combined Transport (UIRR), International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and European Rail Supply Industry Association (UNIFE).
