Such process was initiated by 5 States including Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark & Norway and is currently in the hands of ECHA, the European Chemical Agency before it moves to the European Commission for a formal proposal, to be voted by Member States. PAS substancessuch asfluoropolymearse essetonmitcriochaipls, cars manufacturin(agl electric cables are coated with fluoropolymers for safety reasons), green hydrogen generation as membranes require fluoropolymers as well as photovoltaic cells and wind turbines blades. Al cars are equipped with an AC system based on the new generation of fluoro gases. In other words, the economic and industrial consequences are dramatic while green deal objectives might be challenged, should this EU process go forward without care. Europe must remain independent to generate al these technologies. Meetings at high level already took apnladceSiwniktehviVciicues-oPrretshiedeFnrtenocfhthMeisEutreorpeofanInCdoumsmtiryssion, MrSefkovic aswell as Commissioners Breton The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia has changed the perceptionofwhat is required, in terms of EU independence as regards many strategic components. These range from microchips to green energy solutions to compensate the high increase in gas prices and other energy products from Russia, TheGreen deal requires that we move gradually to solutions that provide growth but withno to limited impactson the environment. In this sense, a coherent and science-based regulatory framework for chemical legislation in Europe is needed. Protecting the environment and combatting climate are and should remain key priorities for the European Union, and should push the industry to invest in key sectors of decarbonization. However, the recent reguiatory developments diverge from that trajectory and could carry the isk of creating a period of uncertainty. This could have adverse effects on significant industrial investments i the EU particularly in relation to planned manufacturing capacites for hyrogen and semiconductors inthe coming years. eIotnhtasiemnsaeg,awfevewiphectctexograaniRcEeAaHmreetsientgiionnBrounssFeFlAeSswithyou ar your team in crder 1 analyze the PP lece wie thVicer resep nt ofe ne Eurr opean Cmoommhisstioen, E Ws SeI kai osNCweClTl auCrmasieonlesSBrSeton et Sikes o he French ierof us AaSrewneadiscussed the probable dates for this meeting are 18or 19 of September, according 0 your Wore ooking ery much forward tothe lassie meeting you wEmab] EE-- EoUoTraInsparency reget amber: SSSUS33374.23 EU=FOCUS or
