Norwegian State Pollution Control
Authority.
by Eisberg, Neil
The Norwegian State Pollution Control Authority (SFT) has published
its recommendation to the Norwegian Ministry of Environment (MoE) to
restrict the sale in Norway of consumer products containing 10
substances including bisphenol A. According to the industry group
PlasticsEurope, the SFT has not demonstrated the necessity and
proportionality of the proposed measures. PlasticsEurope has called on
the MoE to look carefully at the proposals as it has to act according to
the EU's REACH regulations.
