2. Background: study Scope of the study: PBDEs, PFOS and PeCB (1st phase)
SCCP, HBCD, PCP, HCBD and PCN (2nd phase)
Aim:
Provide data for setting limit values for the POPs
Timeline:
First part of Report on PBDEs, PFOS and PeCB has been discussed with MS on 27 Sep
Revised version has been sent to MS and stakeholders:
MS invited to formulate comments

3. Background: study Next steps:
The
Next steps:
Dec 10 Deadline for Comments of stakeholders to study on new POPs (chapters on PBDEs, PFOS and PeCB)
Dec 10/Jan 11 Review of study in view of comments
Jan 11 Commission's draft Proposal
Jan/Feb 11 Meeting with MS to discuss Proposal
Feb 11 Draft final report of the study, incl. finished chapters on SCCP, HBCD, PCP, HCBD and PCN
Feb 11/Mar 11 Comments from stakeholders
Mar 11 Meeting with MS: Discussion of limit values
Mar 11 Final report of study

4. Summary of results of the study
2 options proposed by consultant (see next slide):
Option 1 with restrictive limit values
Option 2 with less restrictive limit values and review clause
Feedback from stakeholders is important to complete information about possible impacts of limit values on recycling (ELV, WEEE)
Currently ( ) there are no well-founded indications that proposed Option 1 would have an impact on industry
MS are also invited to formulate comments – the sooner, the better!
