Thanks a lot for your email and offer to visit the Netherlands on issues related to PFAS which | also shared with colleagues responsible for public health and water quality. We came to the conclusion that when it comes to information related to the EFSA-recommendation to limit PFAS-exposure, it would be better if you would share your information and discuss the results with EFSA itself. In the Netherlands, we have accepted the recommendation and it would not be appropriate to reopen the discussions on this from our side. The second element is of course work related to the restriction on PFAS. At this stage, the scientific agencies of the five countries involved are finalizing the final editorial issues before sending it to the EU Chemicals Agency in January so this is not the moment to receive and evaluate new information. However, shortly after January, there will be a public consultation of 6 months so that will provide ample time to send in additional information that has not been shared before
in the earlier consultation rounds.
So | hope you understand that at this moment, we thank for your offer to come and visit but still want to decline as we consider this is not the appropriate
moment for such a discussion.

veer IESE svi I remember meeting you in my capacity as I || NGNGEGNGEEE 2st November and recall we had a very open
and rich discussion around CSS and chemicals management together.
Ee I'm writing to you today as sve
be visiting Europe early
December. He is coming to attend the BelTox conference in Belgium on the 7" December. As we are on the verge of an intense
EEE year of EU regulatory action on PFAS, | was wondering whether you would be interested in a meeting with
| would
like to propose a one hour meeting in your offices to present and discuss our understanding of where the health science on
different PFASs stands and to enable an efficient short deep dive on this complex topic. If the meeting could take place either on
the 6TM, or on the 8" or 9" December, that would be the most suitable for his schedule.
3M is supportive of a REACH restriction which recognizes the vital role of modern PFASs across several sectors critical for the EU's
strategic autonomy and which is based on sound science. At 3M, we have spent decades studying PFAS compounds and promoting
the state of scientific knowledge about their effects on people and the environment. One of the most recent research studies was
published last month in the scientific journal Environment International. The study examined the antibody response to COVID-19
vaccines among our workers with a wide range of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalky!| substances. The study shows statistically
insignificant reduction in antibody response and no association with COVID-19 disease. Please see here the link to the study:

Please let me know if such a meeting would work for you, or alternative suggest whom else we should meet. Thank you and Kind regards,
