You will gain a solid understanding of the Stockholm Convention as an international legal framework and of the European POP Regulation as its implementation within the EU. You will learn about the objectives, structures, and procedures of both frameworks and understand how new substances are added to the Convention and subsequently incorporated into EU legislation.
After completing the seminar, you will be able to assess when products and materials fall within the scope of the POP Regulation, identify the resulting legal obligations, and implement them within your organization. You will be able to identify POP-relevant substances, use appropriate information sources and evidence, and systematically integrate requirements into material and quality processes.
