Unfortunately, he will not be available for a call due to a very constraint agenda but you may wish to contact , Member of Cabinet, to check her availability. Kind regards, Head of Cabinet of Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans European Commission From: Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2020 6:46 PM To: Subject: EC & 3M cooperation on Green Deal & new Chemical Strategy for Sustainability Dear , I hope you are well in these particular times. You may recall that we talked early June in my capacity as Chairman of AmCham EU. I was then informing you that we were working very constructively with DG CLIMA ( ) notably on the opportunity for a robust recast of the F-gas regulation: phasing out of GHG like SF6 in the energy sector is now possible thanks to technology development over the last 5-10 years. Today I wanted to inform you that we had recent discussions with DG GROW ( ) re. the Green Deal / CSS and especially the PFAS chemicals' action plan - please find below the key bullet points (and attached our deck as a tech company & our recent participation to the EU Call for Evidence). FYI we have had good exchanges with DG ENV too ). It would be great if you could forward these materials to your cabinet members & relevant EC officials. We would be pleased to have a call with you and your colleagues on ht sbict whenever posse for you In utshel 3M 2 3 technologycompany ulysupports F SinceSbasedT lohanA lb keN vo plement is `the EU/EC policy agenda: we have more than 20,000 S{eoondnadsolle2yhstupcporot nmovpatieontaned mnestiment nape nhatey mained specialn th comiog --econ--omic--s.l--r. post-covid months & yearsbance that will oasee a fservaemroework (1 anomntyoyuorurvdapaiforaydiscussion-les tus Thank you for your feedback & bestregards,IE a roI m: ToI Sent: Friday 25 September 2020 13:46 CI Coren Sstoy for Sutanabty Subject: EC & 3M cooperation on Green Deal& new oc Thank you for your time yesterday -- we appreciated the Conse ow doom eleva `open discussion. Attached is our presentation that you poecho compms to th rare C35 & Ea con Please find below a 5 point summary from 3M as a ~ 3M supports the EU Green Deal and a stron&g consistent EU Single Market with scence based legislation enabling innovation & investment (= jobs). 3M has 21,000 employees in EMEA and produces more than 50,000 products in 44 manufacturing sites. ~ PAS chemicals (produced in 2 ites in Germany, EMAS certified & Belgium, to be in 2020) are applied toa very wide range of applications. Using these materials, 3M develop solutions for customers in many sectors: healthcare (antimicrobial resistance), automotive & aerospace (high temperature resistance), electronics (data centers cooling)... Many downstream users (government through hospitals, industries... and citizens) will be impbyaancyretstreictidon. ~ REACH has provided predictability and should be the legal framework with its existing criteria (not only persistence) & established risk management processes for any future legislative initiative. ~ Grouping more than 4,000 substances with different chemical structure that are applied toa very wide range of applications is neither scientifically justified nor easy to implement (administrative burden & cost). "Arrowhead"/ grouping by structure may better ensure that PFA presenting unacceptable risks are restricted. ~ Withineachpotential restriction, allowing exemptions for uses that are essential willbe critical if the EU is going to avoid substitution to less well functioning alternatives, and preserve ts innovation capability and investment located in Europe. We look forward to continuing the discussion -- potentially in November when the CSS has been published so we can all reflect and exchange on the next steps?
