However, we now learned about a policy initiative that could endanger it,ifnot enough attention is paid to its implications. This initiative is the Call forevidence to restrict all chemical substances called "per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances" (PFAs in short), including fluoropolymers. Please find further details in the letter in attachment. Hydrogen Europe urges the European Commission and the promotersof the PFAs strategy `to considerthe impact that such initiative could have on the Hydrogen Strategy and analyse `the possibility to distinguish the treatment of PFAs on the basis of their environmental impact and the availabilityofalternatives. Hydrogen Europe and its members are available to discuss further this complex topic. Sincerely, Eosao svei whwywdrogeneuroepey Lt kc sto R -- poRrronOrs00 Son EU Transparency Register: 77659588648-75
