Our products are relevant for a broad range of EU industries such as renewable energy, chemical production (including ion exchange membranes), and advanced technologies that include optical fibre and lithium-ion batteries. Our products are exported from Japan to the European Union where Asahi Kasei has distribution sites in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Our products are also being exported to Hungary as well as Portugal and Austria. We are contacting you to request a meeting to discuss the PFAS REACH restriction proposal, specifically in the context of its potential effect on industry and trade. The proposed PFAS REACH restriction poses significant challenges for Asahi Kasei due to the integral role of PFAS in our products and has the potential to severely restrict international trade for products in which PFASs are used. This restriction threatens our ability to provide solutions to our European and specifically our Hungarian customers who rely on our products in fields such as renewable energy, chemical production, and advanced technologies that include optical fibre and lithiumion batteries. We would appreciate to present to you our company, our position on the PFAS restriction proposal and importantly its impact on trade and industry either in person or virtually and would be happy to exchange views on this. Understanding the demands of your schedule we would like to kindly ask you if you would be available for a meeting with Asahi Kasei to further discuss the above critical aspects of the PFAS REACH restriction. We remain available at your convenience in May and June. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to hearing from you.
