I believe you sent this message also to other Cabinets involved in the Chemicals Strategy. We will be organising an inter-CAB meeting on this, we will get back to you with the details soon. All the best, From: @eeb.org> Sent: 02 June 2020 12:33 To: (CAB-KYRIAKIDES) Cc: (CAB-KYRIAKIDES); (ETUC); (BEUC - BUREAU EUROPEN DE L'UNION DES CONSOMMATEURS) Subject: Request for a virtual meeting - Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Dear On behalf of the European Consumers Organisation (BEUC), the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), I contact you to request a virtual meeting to present our concerns about the impact of toxic chemicals on people's health and the environment and to have an exchange on potential solutions in view of the upcoming Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability announced under the European Green Deal. We read with interest the recently published roadmap for the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. In view of the current COVID-19 crisis, we strongly agree that protecting both human and planetary health with the use of safe chemicals becomes increasingly important to promote societal resilience from interconnected threats, and to build economies that create wellbeing and improve quality of life. We firmly believe that Europe can solve the health and environmental problems of chemical exposure in ways that are good for our economy. A revitalized EU chemicals policy is in our view essential in this respect and will also support the credibility of the European Green Deal as a transformative agenda that helps establish a new social contract for Europe. Attached to this email you will find our joint recommendations for how the Chemicals Strategy should radically scale up and speed up actions to achieve these objectives by setting Europe on the path to a non-toxic economy and a healthy future. Given the urgency to step up actions in the chemicals area illustrated by the COVID-19 crisis, we hope that you would be available for a virtual exchange on our recommendations, ideally before the end of June, either using Skype, Zoom or any other platform that would be eligible under Commission rules. Thank you in advance. We look forward to hearing from you.
