Chemicals Pollute Consumer Goods - Digital and Interactive Expert Panel

on November 23, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. on MS Teams

The proportion of banned chemicals in consumer products, most of which enter our trade from the Far East, is constantly increasing. This calls for the need to define and monitor new limit value concepts.

On the day before this year's Black Friday - the start of the Christmas shopping season with numerous discount offers - we would like to address this topic and cordially invite you to our discussion round with interactive participation. Discuss with experts about:

- Imported goods contaminated with chemicals - Occupational health and safety
- Legal basis for imported goods - Health protection
- Blindspot online trade - lack of declaration and information
- Information situation in the population
