We will take this up with them for future publications. It is true, however, that, not knowing what a PFAS restriction under REACH will look like, creates a lot of uncertainty for our members and downstream users. We meet on a regular basis via our Collaboration Platform, which consists of more than 60 downstream users (representing a wide range of sectors ) and 13 Members (producers, users and importers of PFAS). The Collaboration Platform is open to any interested party on the PFAS restriction and also gives voice to bodies that are not able to participate in the different consultations launched by the authorities.We would like to build on these meetings and organise a workshop open to EU policymakers where we will welcome very much your participation as a speaker or as an attendee. We hope to involve all relevant stakeholders and work together to achieve the most optimal, implementable and enforceable regulatory measures on PFAS. In this spirit, we remain open to a dialogue and we hope you can consider the invitation to our future workshop.

Dear On March 3rd, 2022 Chemical Watch published the article "FPP4EU: Authorities underestimate range of sectors EU PFAS restriction would impact" in which you indicati-_. that the authorities of the five courrtries working on +h PFAS restriction have missed 104 PFAS uses. We are surprised by this article because there have been two public consultations that provided the possibility to the industry to send information on all relevant uses of PFAS. During the second consultation, you've send an email dd. October 15th 2021, including an excel file with a non-exhaustive compilation of missed uses and we assume with this, we should have a fairly complete picture. Currently, we are processing all information received during the second consultation round, including this information. In the restriction proposal we will present all relevant information. As you are aware, after the submission of our proposal, ECHA will organize another consultation round. If needed, companies, sector organizations and other stakeholders can use this consultation round to comment on the proposal and provide additional relevant input. Therefore, we do not see the need to organize one or more technical meetings to discuss the chemical PFAS universe. However, we welcome the opportunity to contact you, in case we have specific questions.
