With the expectation your PFAS REACH restriction dossier will shortly be submitted to ECHA, we encourage you to put forward a proposal for a restriction in a way that differentiates between fluoropolymers and other PFAS groups, taking into account the different risk profiles and uses of each group separately. Recognition of the safe uses of fluoropolymers, as determined by prior rigorous evaluation and of their importance for many applications, should result in an exemption for fluoropolymers from any regulatory action under the REACH restriction. FPG has been and will continue to be open and transparent in its exchanges on fluoropolymers and the restriction and we would be delighted to provide you with further information on fluoropolymers and to discuss the PFAS restriction. The FPG very much appreciate your time and consideration of our views, and we look forward to cooperating with you on this vitally important issue over the coming months. Yours sincerely, Nicolas Robin Nicolas Robin Director Fluoropolymers Group A product Group of Plastics Europe 0 @plasticseurope.org .. +32 (0)2 792 30 41 +32 (0)496 16 22 21 PLASTICS IX .
