CPCA CORNER
CPCA's comments highlighted that risk-based
assessments must continue to be prioritized
over hazards and they must be balanced with the
economic and social benefits of the pesticide in
question.
reverses already implemented classification and labelling
requirements that have been strongly challenged by industry
over the last several years.
In its ruling, the Court stated the Commission made
PMRA did not provide any timelines for next steps, however
a Notice of Intent has already been published that aims to
make company identity information public during new active
ingredient applications, new registrations, re-evaluations, and
special reviews for paint preservatives. CPCA will continue
to advocate for maintaining the ever-shrinking toolbox of
paint preservatives available to members in-can/substrate
preservation.
EU General Court Annuls Classification and
Labelling of TiO2 as Carcinogen Cat 2
The European Union's General Court has annulled a 2020
decision by the European Commission that classified titanium
dioxide (TiO 2) as a Category 2 carcinogen. The judgment
a manifest error in its assessment of the acceptability
and reliability of a scientific study on which the 'category
2 carcinogen by inhalation' classification was based.
Furthermore, the Commission was found to have infringed on
criteria that classification can relate only to a substance that has
the intrinsic property to cause cancer, a condition that was not
met by TiO2
. The Commission can still file an appeal, but it has
less than 3 months to do so.
Many European industry associations including, the
European Council of the Paint, Printing Ink and Artists' Colours
Industry (CEPE) and the British Coatings Federation (BCF) -
filed briefs in support of the Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers
Association's challenge to the EU classification. The Court
decision hands a big win to industry and sets a precedent for
future classification decisions, in that authorities will now face
a higher bar to demonstrate the scientific basis of regulatory
proposals.
The decision will likely also impact the Canadian
Government's own risk assessment of TiO2
based compounds which is expected in 2023.
