Important news on UK National Plan target
The UK is obliged to implement the policy to replace chemical
substances identified as candidates for substitution in line with
OSPAR recommendation 2006/3.
Under the UK National Plan, products containing Level 1 (highest
priority) chemicals are to be replaced; or discharges to the marine
environment eliminated, or continued use and/or discharge is to be
formally justified by the end of December 2010.
Cefas will shortly be writing to all suppliers of products that
contain UK National Plan Level 1 substances, informing them of
this, and providing them with a list of their relevant
products.
