EU publishes COM(2026)51 register entry for proposed Council Decision to submit TBPH listing proposal under the Stockholm Convention (Annex A or B)

The European Commission documents a proposal (COM(2026)51) for a Council Decision on submitting, on behalf of the European Union, a proposal to list bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) under the Stockholm Convention in Annex A (elimination) or Annex B (restriction). If advanced through the Convention process and adopted by Parties, a TBPH listing could trigger global controls and subsequent EU implementing measures. Compliance teams should track progress as it may affect flame retardant use in products and supply chains.
