(5 a) Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds have been proposed by the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC) for listing under Annex A of the Stockholm Convention without specific exemptions1a after completing the risk profile and risk management evaluation for those substances. A decision to include PFHxS, its salts and PFHxS-related compounds is envisaged to take place in Stockholm Convention COP-10, which was initially scheduled in July 2021, and is now scheduled to take place in June 2022 as a result of the negative evolution in many European countries of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is therefore appropriate, based on the current impact assessment 1b and to ensure that waste containing those substances is managed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, to already amend Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 by including perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts and PFHxS-related compounds in the Annexes and indicating their corresponding concentration limits. _________________ 1a POPRC-15/1 1b SWD(2021) 300 final

(6) The proposed concentration limits in Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 have been set applying the same methodology that was used to establish the concentration limits in previous amendments of Annexes IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004. The proposed concentration limits should achieve the objective of a high level of protection of human health and the environment associated to the destruction or irreversible transformation of the substances concerned. Those limits should also take into consideration the broader policy objective of achieving a climate- neutral and clean circular economy and non-toxic material cycles, enshrined in the European Green Deal26 and the EU Action Plan: 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil'26a. _________________ 26 COM(2019) 640 final 26a COM(2021) 400 final
