Position paper - AmCham EU’s reaction to France’s Annex XV dossier proposal on BPA

A dangerous precedent that will decrease regulatory predictability and negatively impact the Single Market 

AmCham EU is worried that some elements of France’s Annex XV dossier on BPA are in contradiction with the principles of the EU Single Market. The new legal interpretation of monomers put forth by French authorities is creating a considerable amount of uncertainty and an unpredictable environment for future investments in Europe. Our members believe that an inconsistent implementation of EU chemicals policy at national level as well as regulatory overlap undermines the Single Market.

This paper highlights the elements of this legal interpretation that our members find to breach the principles of the Single Market and calls on the European Commission to assess this case against a potential breach of EU law.
