For your information, I will join these meetings with the purpose of better understanding the ECHA process, but we are not planning on making statements due to the topics covered this time.

Live timelines for the meeting can be found at RAC plenary / SEAC. Meeting Documents The relevant draft opinion documents (together with the supporting documents) will be shared in advance with meeting participants. These meeting documents will only be shared through ECHA's document sharing platform, Interact. To access the platform, you will shortly receive an email invitation from ECHA to create an account ('Invitation to Entrusted Body'). If you don't already have an Interact account, please carefully follow the instructions in the email to create yours. The instructions will also cover how to access the documents in Interact. The Interact User Manual on the ECHA website provides further information. For any questions related to Interact, EULogin, or other technical support, kindly contact the ECHA ICT Support exclusively at https://echa.europa.eu/contact/authority-support The meeting documents will be made available 10 calendar days prior to the start of the meeting. We recommend you get familiar with Interact and create your account at your earliest convenience so that you can access them in good time. Webex Details You are invited to participate in the meeting(s) remotely. The Webex link(s) to join the meeting will be sent separately to all meeting participants closer to the meeting. Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct for observers from stakeholder organisations at ECHA meetings covers also remote participation (Item 4: Participation at meetings). You are invited to familiarise yourself with the Code of conduct for observers at ECHA meetings before the meeting. By accepting the invitation, you agree to the conditions of participation laid down in the Code of Conduct covering participation in remote meetings (ED-0035). We remind you that only brief and relevant technical and scientific oral contributions will be allowed during plenary discussions. Sharing Documents In case the stakeholder observer has nominated an accompanying expert who has been approved for the meeting, it is the stakeholder observers' responsibility to share the relevant meeting documents with the approved accompanying expert (i.e. Interact access will only be given to the stakeholder observer, not to their nominated expert(s)). The declaration of confidentiality that you have signed, implies that stakeholder observers are allowed to share non-confidential meeting documents to which they have been granted access with their constituencies (hierarchy and members of the organisation) but they shall not make them or their content publicly available unless they have been made publicly available by ECHA. Failure to comply with this might lead to being excluded from participating in the Committee meetings in the future due to non-compliance with the Code of conduct. Data protection notice Please note that the minutes, which are published on the ECHA website, include a list of participants. The personal data will be processed in accordance with ECHA's privacy rules. Kind Regards, on behalf of the RAC and SEAC secretariat xxx@xxxx.xxxxxx.xx echa.europa.eu P.O.
