THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on persistent organic pollutantsOJ L 169, 25.6.2019, p. 45 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1021/oj. , and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

OJ L 169, 25.6.2019, p. 45 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1021/oj.

(1) Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 implements the commitments of the Union under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic PollutantsStockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (OJ L 209, 31.7.2006, p. 3 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/convention/2006/507/oj). (the Convention) and under the Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic PollutantsProtocol to the 1979 Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic Pollutants (OJ L 81, 19.3.2004, p. 37 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/prot/2004/259/oj). .

(2) Pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021, the manufacturing, placing on the market and use, whether on their own, in mixtures or in articles, of substances listed in Annex I to that Regulation are prohibited, subject to Article 4 of that Regulation.

(3) Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (tetraBDE), pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE), hexabromodiphenyl ether (hexaBDE), heptabromodiphenyl ether (heptaBDE) and decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE) (together listed polybrominated diphenyl ethers, listed PBDE) are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 with an unintentional trace contaminant (UTC) limit value of 500 mg/kg for the sum of the concentrations of the five substances where they are present in mixtures or articles. That UTC limit value is subject to review by the Commission.

(4) Regulation (EU) 2022/2400 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EU) 2022/2400 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 amending Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 on persistent organic pollutants (OJ L 317, 9.12.2022, p. 24 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/2400/oj). reduces the concentration limit in waste for the sum of tetraBDE, pentaBDE, hexaBDE, heptaBDE and decaBDE to 500 mg/kg as of 10 June 2023 , to 350 mg/kg from 30 December 2025 and to 200 mg/kg from 30 December 2027 .

(5) The manufacturing, placing on the market and use of PBDE in the Union have been largely phased out. However, due to past and current recycling activities the substances occur in products made from recovered materials, including products for the general public.

(6) Particular attention should be given to childcare products and toys in view of potential exposure to listed PBDE contained in them. To address the situation where listed PBDE may be present unintentionally in childcare products and toys manufactured from recovered material, it is justified to set an unintentional trace contaminant limit value for them.

(7) Taking into account the objective of Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants by prohibiting, phasing out as soon as possible, or restricting their manufacturing, placing on the market and use, the fact that listed PBDE occur mainly in products from recovered materials, and the limit of detection of relevant determination methods, different UTC limit values should be set for mixtures and articles made from or containing listed PBDE-containing recovered material and other mixtures and articles. Food contact materials subject to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilRegulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (OJ L 338, 13.11.2004, p. 4 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2004/1935/oj). should be excluded from this Regulation as listed PBDE should in principle not be present in food contact materials in accordance with Commission Regulations (EU) No 10/2011Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (OJ L 12, 15.1.2011, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2011/10/oj). and (EU) 2022/1616Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 of 15 September 2022 on recycled plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 282/2008 (OJ L 243, 20.9.2022, p. 3 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/1616/oj). .

(8) Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 should therefore be amended accordingly,
