Form for Annex F information.docx Importance: High Dear PFAS WG members, As you may know there is work ongoing under the Stockholm Convention to include Long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids, their salts and related compounds into the convention. In order to ensure proper risk evaluation of these substances it has been requested to provide socio-economic information, as defined under Annex F of the Convention (see the PDF file in the annex and the mail below for more information). We would therefore like to ask you whether you have any information on long-chain PFCAs for the following topics: - Efficacy of risk reduction measures - Positive and/or negative impacts of risk measures - Waste and disposal implications - Access to information and public education - Regional control actions taken - ... Please consult the Word document in the annex for the specific information requests. We would like to invite the members to provide any relevant information on these topics by 30/11 COB, after which we can compile the collected information and send it to the Secretariat. Many thanks in advance for your contributions!
