Question for written answer E-001467/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Pascal Arimont (PPE)
The Clean Industry Pact included the adoption of measures for the chemicals industry by the end of 2025. It is also an important public health issue, not least because those measures will cover PFAS.
In late March 2025, a meeting involving members of the Commission and a number of stakeholders was held on the topic[1]. Impact on health was also discussed (how to protect human health and the environment from toxic chemicals, including ongoing work on PFAS). Stéphane Séjourné and Jessika Roswall appear to be the only commissioners to have taken part in that meeting.
Could the Commission please answer the following questions in this regard:
- 1.How are DG SANTE departments and the Commissioner for Health involved in preparatory work for measures in the Chemical Industry Package and PFAS in particular?
- 2.What proposals has the Commissioner for Health made to Commissioners Séjourné and Roswall to reduce the impact of PFAS on public health and limit the European population’s exposure to PFAS in the future?
