European Commission opens public feedback on draft delegated amendments to list chlorpyrifos, MCCPs and LC‑PFCAs in Annex I (consultations close 19 Dec 2025)

The European Commission opened ‘Have your say’ public feedback consultations on draft delegated regulations to amend Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (EU POPs Regulation) to add chlorpyrifos, medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs; C9–C21), their salts and related compounds. The feedback period is indicated as open until 19 Dec 2025. For compliance teams, this signals likely upcoming EU-wide prohibitions and associated unintentional trace contaminant (UTC) limits affecting substances, mixtures and articles; companies potentially impacted should review draft texts and submit technical feedback (e.g., trace contamination feasibility, supply-chain impacts, and any requested derogations).
