What they argued
Kemianteollisuus ry welcomes the Commissions proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act and its aim of boosting the development, competitiveness and resilience of the Union's manufacturing sector and improving the functioning of the internal market.
The Finnish chemical industry is committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2045 and supports the EU Emissions Trading System as a key, long-term and cost-efficient instrument for driving emission reductions. At the same time, it is essential to ensure that industrial competitiveness is preserved and that effective carbon leakage protection remains in place throughout the transition.

Chemical Industry Federation Finland appreciates the opportunity to comment the Inception impact assessment document. This consultation is very valuable, as proper impact assessment is the basis for any good regulatory process. We support the comments made by Cefic and would like to emphasize the following: The Chemical Strategy for sustainability proposes multiple changes to REACh and CLP regulations.
Kemianteollisuus ry welcomes the European Biotech Act II initiative and the objective to strengthen the competitiveness, scale-up capacity and industrial deployment of biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU.
Classification of TiO2 would create a precedent for all dust materials: As stated in the RAC opinion, the TiO2 classification is not based on substance-specific toxic properties but on its dust form. A similar hazard profile is also characteristic for other poorly soluble low toxicity particles (PSLTs). There are about 320 chemicals as well as other materials, e.g. road dust that have a corresponding hazard profile.
The Industrial Emissions Directive is one of the most important directives governing the operation of chemical installations. The Directive covers more than 80 chemical installations in Finland. The proposal for a new Industrial Emissions Directive (COM(022) 156 final) is in line with the objectives of the EU Green Deal and aims to accelerate the transition of companies towards a greener future.

As a part of European chemical industry, Finnish chemical industry is strongly committed to contribute its proposals to support the review of the IED-Sevilla process. To date, the European chemical manufacturers are directly or indirectly impacted by some 20 BREFs. Therefore, the drafting of reference documents describing Best Available Techniques (a.k.a.
The Finnish Chemical Industry Federation has established a specified Battery Group, which consists of key companies in the battery value chain, from mining of valuable battery metals to the recycling of batteries. We welcome the possibility to give our input to the Roadmap consultation "Modernising the EU's Batteries legislation".
Finnish Chemical Industry supports European wide weight and dimensions standardization and the aim to decrease emissions from commercial vehicles and improvement of road safety. However, also national regulation is required to ensure different industrial density, railroad and road network, and infrastructure is taken into account.
The Chemical Industry Federation of Finland in general terms believes that it is good that integration of nature and biodiversity action into business is promoted. It is important that the objectives and the intended effect of the Nature Credits Roadmap are clearly outlined. Please find our full feedback in the attached document.

The Chemical Industry Federation of Finland (CIFF) believes that Europe should update its policy framework to create a well functioning single market for wastes in order to move from a waste-oriented to a resource-oriented European society. A full potential of the circular economy should be exploited.
The Chemical Industry Federation of Finland (CIFF) is a trade association for the chemical industry and its closely related sectors such as the Pharma Industry Finland and the Finnish Cosmetic and Hygiene Industry Association.
Chemical Industry Federation Finland thanks for the opportunity to give feedback on reporting reduction initiative. This is a very welcome and important project from the Commission which successfully implemented will save the Scarce resources in the companies but also in the authorities.

The Chemical Industry Federation Finland supports the revision of the BPR. The availability of biocidal active substances and market for new biocidal solutions in EU is diminishing due to the strict interpretation of exclusion criteria, high uncertainty in getting approval, disproportionately high costs and long time-to-market.
We recognise this as a positive step towards harmonisation, regulatory certainty, and the development of a well-functioning internal market for recycled plastics. However, the implementation should not guide reflections on EoW criteria for chemical recycling. Mechanical and chemical recycling differ fundamentally in terms of technologies, value chains, and outputs.
The scope of the reporting obligation should initially be limited to durable consumer goods, or for example to the product groups listed in Annex II, in order to give companies sufficient time to prepare for this new and demanding reporting requirement. The obligation is entirely new and will require changes to systems, verification processes, and operational practices.
