European Commission opens 'Have your say' consultations on draft delegated acts to add chlorpyrifos, MCCPs, and LC‑PFCAs to Annex I

The European Commission launched public consultations ('Have your say' initiatives) on draft delegated acts proposing to amend Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 (EU POPs Regulation) to address Stockholm Convention COP-12 listings by adding chlorpyrifos, medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC‑PFCAs), their salts and related compounds. For compliance teams, this signals pending EU-wide prohibitions/restrictions and associated trace contaminant limit-setting for substances/mixtures/articles once adopted; companies should consider submitting comments and beginning impact assessments for materials, product portfolios, and supply chains.
