DISCUSSION PAPER 27 MAY 2020 Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Safe and sustainable by design Issue Chemicals policy should reconcile the following aspects, while enabling the transition to a climate-neutral Europe: circularity, prolongation of the use phase, resource-efficiency, CO2 emissions, water use, reduction of environmental emissions under a `zero-pollution' agenda, societal concerns, economic and social contribution.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Cabinet of Executive Vice-President Mr Frans Timmermans Head of Cabinet Dear Mr , Brussels, 15/6/2022 I would like to thank you for your letter of 28 March 2022 to the Commission president, as well as the support expressed for EU fluorinated gas policies and their contribution to putting the Green Deal into practise.

Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Introduction to ATC Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Introduction to ATC - Additive Technical Committee The Technical Committee of Petroleum Additive Manufacturers in Europe (ATC) exists to: discuss topics of a technical and statutory nature which are a concern to our industry develop common industry approaches in response to health, safety and regulatory legislation which are based on scientific and technical principles, to the benefit of end consumers and environmental protection provide its members with a platform to build and share high-level technical expertise cooperate with relevant stakeholders active in the development of petroleum additive specifications and testing Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Fuel and Lubricant Additive Industry Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Fuel and Lubricant Additive Industry in Europe The petroleum additive industry is a research and development intensive industry World-wide the industry has a turnover of about 11700 million of which the European market is about 3600 million The industry employs directly about 3800 people in Europe and about 12000 globally The industry operates more than 35 research and development establishments and manufacturing sites in Europe, and more than 100 globally World-wide the industry spends about 600 million/annum on research and development, of which 240 million is spent in Europe All lubricants on the market contain additives to improve their stability and performance Over 95% of road retail fuels are treated with performance additives All European refineries use additives in some capacity The petroleum additive industry in Europe is a major exporter Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Lubricant Additives as Enablers Lubricant additives have enabled OEMs to achieve the emissions reductions needed in moving from Euro I to Euro VI engines Significant reduction in damaging pollutants As Fuel Economy requirements have increased, lubricant additives have enabled Lower viscosity oils Friction modified oils Engineering changes to lower friction in engines Additives enable longer oil drain intervals by improved oil protection Extending lifetime of engine hardware Significantly reducing oil consumption Generating less waste oil Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Fuel Additives Fuel additives are essential to meet requirements of latest fuel specifications and standards covering refineries, terminals, all sectors of transportation, heating and power generation Cover a broad spectrum of applications, including improved safety, storage, handling, operation and end use performance of fuels reduced exhaust pollutant levels increased combustion efficiency increased specific power output increased fuel efficiency increased service interval duration greater reliability increased stability, handling and safety Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee Additives R&D cycle Petroleum additive manufacturers develop chemistry and formulate additives with desired performance for fuel and lubricant manufacturers Formulating high-performance fuels and lubricants is very complex Must balance numerous ingredients to maintain optimal performance demands Not possible to simply switch one substance for another without negatively impacting performance of additive and consequently the fuel or lubricant Extensive performance qualification testing required by equipment, vehicle manufacturers and fuel producers The substitution of a single substance can easily take 5-10 years and require very significant investments (R&D costs, tox testing, equipment testing, sourcing new raw materials, OPEX) Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee ATC Position On Essential Uses Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee The EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability ATC embraces the spirit of the EU Green Deal and the EU Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) and fully recognises that industry has a role to play in tackling the societal and environmental challenges we face and in achieving the objectives set out by the EU Commission We also believe that regulatory actions should be taken following a holistic approach, balancing the several trade-offs at play and considering the interdependencies that characterise a complex society For example, a restriction of a chemical based on hazard properties alone could lead to the adoption of different chemistry with potential sustainability deficits, when the whole lifecycle of the chemical is taken into account Copyright 2021 ATC - Additive Technical Committee ATC Concerns A potential shift of focus towards hazard-based regulatory processes under the "generic approach to risk management" In order to invest, industry needs regulations and process that are predictable, science-based and guided by the proportionality principle enshrined in the EU treaties Hazardous substances should not be restricted or banned without due consideration of the societal benefits derived and the availability of technically/economically viable alternatives An acceleration of substitution of hazardous substances purely on the basis of "nonessentiality" as judged against overly simplistic criteria should be avoided This could lead to "regrettable substitution".

AmCham event 24 February The future of risk management in EU chemicals policy Kristin Schreiber, DG GROW MS have unanimously supported the ambition of the strategy - they are also very much behind the calls for strengthening the generic approach to risk management, the introduction of a mixture assessment factor and limiting the use of endocrine disruptors and persistent substances to essential uses.
