Bjorn, we thank you for your great job. Your energy and dedication to the role will be difficult to match, but you leave ECHA a better organisation and on a strong footing for those who follow you.

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.

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.

👉🏻A #PFAS-free environment is important to ensure safe food and #DrinkingWaterEU.
🛑We are proposing a ban of PFAS-based firefighting foams to stop these #ForeverChemicals from further contaminating the environment and risking our health.

🙋🏻🙋🏻♂️When it comes to fighting #cancer, we're all in it together.
#DYK that in the 🇪🇺, we systematically look for #chemicals that cause cancer and control their use to protect you? The EU has taken action on these cancer-causing chemicals and the work continues.

#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.

Even if all releases of #PFAS would cease tomorrow, they would still stay in the environment and humans for a long time. Thank you for inviting me to discuss #SaferChemicals and how @EU_ECHA supports science based EU action to regulate #ForeverChemicals bit.ly/2ZxSvcn
