Lot of super important tasks ahead for @EU_ECHA and @ED_ECHA. And also legislative changes #REACH and #CLP are just some of them.

To make the upcoming legislation work we need to listen to the agency in charge, their inputs and experiences. And what a lesson it was. Thank you.

[EU Chemicals Agency ED @ED_ECHA]

Thank you to @martinhojsik, our contact MEP,for bringing us closer to the Parliament. He spoke about the massive task we have ahead to reduce toxic pollution and preserve life on this planet for future generations.ECHA’s work will be crucial for better health and the environment.

After 30 years dedicated to a safer Europe, it is time to say goodbye. I will be retiring from ECHA on 31 March. It has been an honour to work with so many great professionals on an exciting journey towards #SaferChemicals.

[EU Chemicals Agency ED @ED_ECHA]

Working for #SaferChemicals requires strong cooperation. Today, we welcomed Patrick Child ( and Hubert Gambs from the @EU_ENV and @EU_Growth to ECHA. They met our new management team and discussed with our staff ECHA’s role in making the #ChemicalsStrategy a success.

[EU Chemicals Agency ED @ED_ECHA]

Thank you @diderbob and Patience Browne from @OECD_ENV for our cooperation with chemicals management. Today, we signed a memorandum of understanding to continue promoting the QSAR toolbox for chemical hazard assessment.

#PFAS 👉🏻Our scientific committees support Germany's proposal to restrict #PFHxA, mostly used in food contact materials, textiles and fire-fighting foams.

The potential restriction would protect people and the environment from these #ForeverChemicals.
