Annexes IV and V to ECHA and hosting the POPs monitoring data to EEA. For this work, ECHA will require in the first year 1 FTE (1 TA) and operational budget of EUR 35 000 and as of the second year 2 FTEs (2 TAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 50 000 per year. No resources are needed for EEA. The work on reviewing the Annexes IV and V is currently performed by the Commission with the help of consultants and amounts to approximately 1.5 FTEs per year. The involvement of ECHA and its Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis is envisaged to provide a significant increase in the scientific quality, the consistency, the robustness and the level of independence of the assessments upon which the Commission develops its proposals on this matter. The hosting of chemicals monitoring data under POPs regulation is currently done by the by Commission. Transfer of this work to EEA will require no additional resources, as POPs monitoring data in waters are to be reported to EEA under the water legislation and resources for that were proposed in the recent proposal, the POPs monitoring data in air are already being reported to EEA as part of the air quality legislation and covered by resources for that activity. The increase of the contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget. This will be an effective redeployment and elimination of duplicative reporting.

Changes to medical devices regulation will not require any additional resources for ECHA. The work is currently performed by the Commission supported by the SCHEER committee. The current resource use is estimated to be 0.3 FTE per year and EUR 24 000 per year. Considering that the envisaged frequency of the work is very low, the involvement of the Committees is only where necessary and the first work will likely materialise only in 2029, the work can be absorbed by ECHA without any additional resources.

Changes to the regulation on the EEA and to the regulation on the general principles and requirements of food law and establishing the European Food Safety Authority will have no resource implications. The provisions formalise the activities already performed, they prescribe the procedural steps to follow and they enable the implementation of the proposal for a regulation establishing a common data platform on chemicals, laying down rules to ensure that the data contained in it are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable and establishing a monitoring and outlook framework for chemicals. Any possible resource needs stemming from these provisions can be absorbed by the existing resources of the agencies.

Resource needs for ECHA per legislation amended via the proposal for a Regulation amending Regulations (EC) No 178/2002, (EC) No 401/2009, (EU) 2017/754 and (EU) 2019/1021 as regards the reattribution of scientific and technical tasks and improving cooperation among Union Agencies in the area of chemicals

Current resource use for technical and scientific work to be reattributed to ECHA via the proposal for a Regulation amending Regulations (EC) No 178/2002, (EC) No 401/2009, (EU) 2017/754 and (EU) 2019/1021 as regards the reattribution of scientific and technical tasks and improving cooperation among Union Agencies in the area of chemicals
POPs regulation - Technical assistance in reviewing Annexes IV and V - Hosting POPs monitoring data	Total ca. 1.5 FTEs/year: EUR 300 000 for consultants every 3 years (=1.5 FTE/year); (In addition, DG ENV ca. 0.5 FTE/year (implementing the review of Annexes IV and V) whose work will remain)
Medical devices regulation - Preparation and review of the guidelines on how to perform the benefit-risk assessment of the presence of phthalates in medical devices - Preparation and review of the guidelines on how to perform the benefit-risk assessment of the presence of CMR and endocrine-disrupting substances in medical devices	Total ca. 0.3 FTE/year + EUR 24 000 per year: DG SANTE SCHEER secretariat 0.3 FTE (ca. 10% of SCHEER secretariat work), EUR 24 000 per year for indemnities, travel, e.g. costs for members of the committee. (In addition, DG SANTE (policy unit) 0.1 FTE/year whose work will remain).
SUM	0.3 FTEs/year of regular staff; 1.5 FTEs/year of intramurous contractors or interim staff (ca. EUR 100 000/year); Operational costs of ca. EUR 24 000/year

In summary, in the first year, there will be a need of 1 FTE (1 TA) and operational costs of EUR 35 000 per year and as of the second year, there will be a need of 2 FTEs (2 TAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 50 000 per year. All new resources are needed for ECHA. Considering the resources currently used for the tasks to be reattributed, there will be a total net increase in the resources from 2026 and beyond as compared to today of 0.2 FTEs per year and operational costs of EUR 26 000 per year.

Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2011/65/EU as regards the re-attribution of scientific and technical tasks to the European Chemicals Agency:

Changes to RoHS directive will reattribute the assessments underpinning restrictions of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and review of applications for exemptions from the restrictions to ECHA. For this work, ECHA will require in the first year 3 FTEs (3 TAs) and operational budget of EUR 66 000 and as of the second year 7 FTEs (4 TAs + 3 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 33 000 per year. The work is currently performed with the help of consultants and amounts to approximately 2.7 FTE per year. The resources currently spent are however insufficient leading to the accumulation of requests for exemptions without processing them to the legal drafting (by December 2022, over 60 exemption requests were pending) and the revision of the list of restricted substances was delayed (the review not finalised although it has started in 2018). There are also complaints about the quality and robustness of the assessments, the transparency of the process and involvement of stakeholders. The reattribution to ECHA and using its processes will address these shortcomings and will ensure alignment and coherence with other chemicals legislation. The increase of the contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget. Part of these resources are currently spent on procuring the contractual support and this can be seen as effective redeployment.

Current resource use for technical and scientific work to be reattributed to ECHA via the proposal for a Directive amending Directive 2011/65/EU as regards the reattribution of scientific and technical tasks to the European Chemicals Agency
RoHS directive - Assessments underpinning restrictions of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment - Review of applications for exemptions from the restrictions	Total ca. 2.74 FTEs/year: EUR 145 000 annually (on average) for outsourcing the review of exemptions (= ca. 2.2 FTEs/year) + a contract of EUR 180 000 on average each 5 years for reviewing restrictions (= 0.54 FTE/year). (In addition, DG ENV ca. 1.5 FTE/year (for overall RoHS implementation) whose work will remain)
SUM	2.7 FTEs/year of intramurous contractors or interim staff (ca. EUR 181 000 per year);

In summary, in the first year, there will be a need of 3 FTEs (3 TAs) and operational budget of EUR 66 000 per year and as of the second year, there will be a need of 7 FTEs (4 TAs + 3 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 33 000 per year. All new resources are needed for ECHA. Considering the resources currently used for the tasks to be reattributed, there will be a total net increase in the resources from 2026 and beyond as compared to today of 4.3 FTEs per year and EUR 33 000 per year.

Proposal for a Regulation establishing a common data platform on chemicals, laying down rules to ensure that the data contained in it are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable and establishing a monitoring and outlook framework for chemicals:

The proposal will establish a Common Data Platform. It will be established and operated by ECHA with close involvement and contribution from EEA, EFSA, EMA, EU-OSHA and the Commission. The work will include development and operation of the infrastructure and the governance and provision of data into the platform. The principal aim of new IT infrastructure operating as part of the Green Deal Data Space is to support effective and coherent chemical safety assessments. It shall provide integrated, user-differentiated and highly functional access to chemicals-related datasets owned or managed by EU agencies and provide space for the dedicated services supporting EU chemicals policy and legislative implementation.

The work will require resources for 4 agencies involved and the Commission (JRC). The resource requirement is higher for the first 3 years to set up the infrastructure and all the underlying processes to share the data and make them interoperable and in adequate formats. This will require for the first 3 years:

- for ECHA, 10 FTEs (4 TAs + 6 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 0 for the first year, EUR 2 226 000 for the second year and EUR 2 793 000 for the third year;

- for EEA, 3 FTEs (1 TA + 2 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 0 for the first year, EUR 266 000 for the second year and EUR 334 000 for the third year;

- for EFSA, 5 FTEs (5 CAs) per year and an operational budget of EUR 670 000 per year. For this purpose, a contribution/service level agreement of EUR 3 000 000 will be signed to cover the 3 FTEs (3 CAs) per year and the operational budget needed. The additional 2 FTEs (2 CAs) per year will be financed from EFSA’s current budget;

- for EMA, a contribution/service level agreement of EUR 1 400 000 to cover 3 FTEs (3 CAs) per year and an operational budget of EUR 100 000 per year;

- for EU-OSHA, 0 FTEs per year and operational budget of EUR 0 per year;

- for JRC, an administrative arrangement for 3 years of EUR 540 000 to cover integration of IPCHEM in the common data platform and handing over of IPCHEM operation to ECHA.

After the initial phase of 3 years, the resource requirement is reduced to maintain the infrastructure and the underlying processes and to continue providing data. This phase will require

- for ECHA, 4 FTEs (4 TAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 600 000 per year;

- for EEA, 1 FTE (1 TA) per year and operational budget of EUR 200 000 per year;

- for EFSA, 2 FTEs (2 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 500 000 per year;

- for EU-OSHA, 0 FTEs per year and operational budget of EUR 0 per year;

- for EMA, 2 FTEs (2 CAs) per year and operational budget of EUR 0.

The increases of the contributions to agencies will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget except for 2 FTEs (2 CAs) for EFSA which will be compensated from EFSA’s current budget.

The proposal will formally establish the Information Platform for Chemical Monitoring (IPCHEM) and reattribute its operation to the Agencies. For this work,

- ECHA will need as of the second year 2 FTEs (1 TA + 1 CA) per year and as of the third year operational budget of EUR 180 000 per year;

- EEA will need as of the first year 1 FTE (1 TA) per year and the operational budget in the first year EUR 0, in the second year EUR 200 000, in the third year EUR 200 000 and as of the fourth year EUR 50 000 per year.

The operation of IPCHEM is currently done by the Commission and the resource use accounts for total of 4.5 FTEs/year. The operation of IPCHEM will be entrusted to ECHA which will also integrated it into the Common Data Platform. As the operation of IPCHEM will be reattributed to ECHA, the resources at the Commission’s side will be saved. Hosting of data will be entrusted to the Agencies based on their mandates (ECHA will host occupational data) and EEA will host indoor air data and collect and host human biomonitoring data. The proposal will require the agencies to provide occurrence data they hold to ECHA for the integration into IPCHEM. EFSA already provides data to IPCHEM and contributes to its operation and will not require any additional resources to continue in this activity. EMA and EU-OSHA currently do not systematically collect or receive data relevant for IPCHEM and therefore will not require any additional resources. The increase of the contribution to ECHA and EEA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget. It is therefore a partial redeployment of existing resources.

The proposal will establish a database containing information on regulatory processes on chemicals on the basis of existing (public) activities coordination tool ((P)ACT) and enlarging its scope to cover all relevant legislation with safety assessment processes and initiatives to promote coordination of safety assessment activities across EU legislation and provide transparency on the ongoing assessments. This work will impact ECHA, EEA, EFSA and EU-OSHA but will not require additional resources for the agencies. ECHA already operates (P)ACT for REACH, CLP and POPs processes. EFSA already operates OpenEFSA which has similar level of information as PACT for food and feed legislation. Resources for the operation and continuous provision of information are to be absorbed by the Agencies as part of the existing processes. EEA and EU-OSHA are currently not involved in any processes relevant for the database, therefore no resources are required for them. The development and coordination of the system is covered by the resources provided for the common data platform.

The proposal will establish a repository of reference values to promote the reuse of existing reference values and thus improve coherence of assessments and reduce repetition of deriving reference values. The proposal will impact ECHA, EEA, EFSA, EMA, EU-OSHA and the Commission. To perform the required work, ECHA will need as of the first year 1 FTE (1 TA) per year and operational budget of EUR 0 in the first year, EUR 650 000 in the second year, EUR 650 000 in the third year and as of the fourth year EUR 200 000 per year. No additional resources will be needed for EEA, EFSA, EMA, EU-OSHA or the Commission. ECHA has developed and operates the EU Chemicals Legislation Finder (EUCLEF). EUCLEF lists some regulatory reference values derived and applicable under these legislative pieces. ECHA will have to collate the ‘old scientific reference values’ which can be done via contracting. The new scientific reference values will be provided to the repository progressively as part of ECHA’s assessment processes. ECHA will require additional resources for developing, operating and maintain the repository, being in contact with data providers. EFSA has developed and is maintaining the OpenFoodTox database that summarises the scientific reference values derived by EFSA as part of its assessment activities. EFSA will continue its activity and will provide the information to the new repository as part of its existing resources. Therefore, no additional resources are required. EMA will need to provide to the new repository on continuous basis all new predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs) derived for human and veterinary medicinal products after entry into force of this legislation. This can be done efficiently as part of EMA’s future assessment activities. In addition, this can be automatized for human medicines as digitalisation of environmental risk assessment is foreseen as part of the revision of human medicinal product legislation. Therefore, no additional resources are required. EEA and EU-OSHA currently do not hold any relevant data for the repository. Therefore, no additional resources are required. The increase of the contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

The proposal will formalise establishment and operation of a database with information on applicable laws and legal obligations applicable to chemicals under Union legislation to promote compliance. This work will impact ECHA but will not require additional resources under this proposal. ECHA already operates EU chemical legislative finder (EUCLEF) as part of the contribution agreement with DG GROW. The contribution agreement amounts to ca. EUR 1.0 – 1.4 million annually. ECHA runs the service through the employment of 4 interim staff members (ca. EUR 270 000/year) and via contractors: communication activities and external helpdesk ca. EUR 60 000/year, IT costs EUR 200 000/year, data costs EUR 430 000/year. These existing resources will be used to continue operating, further developing and slightly expanding the system. The resources for major extension of the system, such as the repository of reference values, are provided under the work on repository of reference values. Although no resources are required under this proposal, the legislative proposal for a regulation on ECHA should address the fact that the operation of the EUCLEF became a structural task for ECHA and that the financing should become part of the annual contribution to ECHA.

The proposal will establish a database on environmental sustainability related data on chemicals. The work will impact ECHA. ECHA will be required to set up the database, operate it, establish and maintain the flows of adequate data into the database and provide interpretation of data. Other agencies (EEA, EFSA, EMA and EU-OSHA), if they host environmental sustainable data on chemicals, will provide that data to ECHA and will cooperate as necessary with ECHA on the development. To perform the work, ECHA will need as of the second year 1 FTE (1 TA) per year and operational budget of EUR 0 per year. Other agencies will not need additional resources as their task is small, currently do not actively collect any relevant data, and if they have any of such data, the amount of information held is currently very limited. The potential work on cooperation in this area can be absorbed by the agencies’ current resources. The increase of the contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

The proposal will establish data generation mechanism to allow ECHA and the Commission to commission studies supporting the implementation of Union chemicals legislation within ECHA’s mandate or contributing to the development of Union chemicals policy. The studies can be commissioned only when results cannot be obtained through existing legal provisions and they shall not have predominant research and development objective. The mechanism will allow ECHA and the Commission to generate data where needed and cannot be obtained otherwise. ECHA’s involvement is necessary as commissioning of such studies requires technical expertise. To perform the work, ECHA will require in the first year 1 FTE (1 TA) and operational budget of EUR 0, in the second year 2 FTEs (1 TA and 1 CA) and operational budget of EUR 1 000 000, in the third year 2 FTEs (1 TA and 1 CA) and operational budget of EUR 3 000 000 and as of the fourth year 2 FTEs (1 TA and 1 CA) per year and operational budget of EUR 5 000 000 per year. No current process exists, but there is a complementary process operated by EFSA for the food sector (4 FTEs/year, EUR 15 000 000/year). This will continue to be operated next to the new one and the two Agencies (ECHA and EFSA) are required to cooperate when commissioning such studies and develop a joint plan. The increase of the contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

The proposal will expand the obligation to notify studies before they start from food sector to all chemical sector. The work will require additional resource for ECHA. ECHA will need as of the first year 3 FTEs (1 TA and 2 CAs) per year and operational budget in the first year of EUR 0, in the second year EUR 1 200 000, in the third year EUR 400 000 and as of the fourth year EUR 200 000 per year. ECHA will be required to develop the database, operate it, facilitate and check compliance with the provisions and provide feedback to the duty holders. EFSA already operates a database of notification of studies to serve the obligation under the food sector legislation. The resource use amounts to 2 FTEs/year and EUR 400 000/year. EFSA and ECHA will be required to ensure compatibility of the systems. No additional resources are needed for this for EFSA. The increased contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

The proposal will formalise the operation of the indicators framework for chemicals and will establish an early warning and action system for chemicals. The work will require additional resources for EEA. EEA will need as of the first year 1 FTE (1 TA) per year and operational budget for the first year of EUR 0, for the second year EUR 300 000 and as of the third year EUR 150 000 per year. EEA and ECHA already jointly develop the indicators framework for chemicals as part of the commitment under the 8^th Environment Action Programme. As the resources for indicator framework (2 FTEs per year for ECHA, 1 FTE per year for EEA) were already attribution as part of the 8^th EAP, no additional resources are needed for this work. The establishment of the early warning and action system is a new, non-existing task that aims to significantly shorten the regulatory response to identified risks. The EEA will be tasked to collect early warning signals from other agencies, Member State and by its own activity and compile annually a report for discussion and decision on the follow up with Member States authorities. The increased contribution to EEA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget. Other contributing agencies (ECHA, EFSA, EMA and EU-OSHA) will absorb the costs as part of exiting activities. In case of ECHA, the resources attribution for the indicator framework will be partly used to support the EEA by generating relevant early warning signals. The increased contribution to EEA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

The proposal will establish an observatory for specific chemicals with potential contribution to emerging chemical risks. This will de facto formalise the operation of existing EU Observatory for nanomaterials and extend its scope to specific chemicals considered to benefit from additional scrutiny and reliable information on their properties, safety aspects, uses and market presence. This work will impact ECHA but will not require additional resources under this proposal. ECHA operates the EU Observatory for nanomaterials as part of a contribution agreement with DG GROW. The resource use amounts to approximately EUR 700 000 per year including the 3 FTEs (3 CA). These existing resources will be used to continue operating, further developing and slightly expanding the system. The legislative proposal in preparation for a regulation on ECHA will address the fact that the operation of the EUCLEF became a structural task for ECHA and that the financing should become part of the annual contribution to ECHA.

IPCHEM	Total 4.5 FTEs/year: DG JRC staff 2.5 FTEs/year + IT experts intramurous 2 FTEs/year (EUR 130 000 per year).
Information on regulatory processes on chemicals	ECHA already operates (P)ACT for REACH, CLP and POPs processes. EFSA already operates OpenEFSA which has a similar level of information as PACT. Resources for the operation and continuous provision of information are to be absorbed by the Agencies.
Information on the obligations under Union acts on chemicals	ECHA already operates EUCLEF and this is financed through the contribution agreement between DG GROW and ECHA. No additional resources needed but the formalisation of the resource allocation should be done by the proposal for regulation on ECHA.
Observatory for specific chemicals with potential contribution to emerging chemical risks	ECHA already operates the EU Observatory on Nanomaterials and this is financed via the contribution agreement between DG GROW and ECHA. No additional resources needed but the formalisation of the resource allocation should be done by the proposal for a regulation on ECHA.
SUM	2.5 FTEs/year of regular staff; 2 FTEs/year of intramurous contractors or interim staff (ca. EUR 130 000/year)

In summary, the legislative proposal on chemicals data consists of 10 distinct activities that will have an impact on resource needs of ECHA, EEA, EFSA, EMA and the Commission. The first three years there will be a need of up to 32 FTEs (12 TA + 20 CA) per year and an operational budget of up to EUR 8 657 000 per year. In the fourth year and beyond, there will be a need of 20 FTEs (12 TA and 8 CA) per year and an operational budget of EUR 7 080 000 per year. It must be noted that some activities included in the calculation above already exists and are financed as part of existing core ECHA and EFSA work (such as (P)ACT), through the contribution agreements between GROW and ECHA (EUCLEF and EU Observatory for nanomaterials) or from JRC core activities (IPCHEM). Resources for the operation of (P)ACT and OpenEFSA portal that should feed into the extended version of (P)ACT will be used to absorb the expansion of the (P)ACT for other pieces of legislation, including the merge of OpenEFSA into (P)ACT. Resources for the operation of EUCLEF and EUON will be used to continue operation, development and slight expansion of the systems, while the fact that that the operation of the EUCLEF and EUON became a structural task for ECHA and that there is a need to ensure that the financing should be part of the annual contribution to ECHA will be addressed in the proposal for a regulation on ECHA. Therefore for this part of work no additional resources are required under this proposal. The resources currently used for the operation of IPCHEM consists of 2.5 FTEs/year of regular staff, 2 FTEs of intramurous contractors (EUR 130 000 per year). As this task will be reattributed, the current resources used for this task will not be needed by the Commission. Therefore, the total net increase in the resources from 2028 and beyond as compared to today will be 15.5 FTEs per year and operational budget of EUR 7 080 000 per year.

Proposal for a Regulation on packaging and packaging waste (COM (2022) 677 final):

In theory, national legislations in Member States could have been established. However, there would have been to guarantee of consistent application across the EU and would inevitably contribute to further fragmentation of the internal market.

Tasks related to development of legislation at the EU level cannot be externalised.

The proposal attributes the task to ECHA to perform a scoping study on chemical in packaging that would be candidates for restriction. This is a new process that will require 1 FTE (1 TA) per year for 3 years in ECHA. The increased contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

Proposal for a directive amending waste framework directive (COM (2023) 420 final):

The proposal lays down changes in the reporting requirements of Member States with regard to the re-use of products data flow to the European Environmental Agency. The enhanced reporting requirements will require 1 FTE (1 TA) per year in EEA. The increased contribution to EEA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

ECHA support is required for improving the risk assessment of the remaining hazardous substance exemptions, in particular for reviewing the scope extension and potential wider coverage of substances of concern (1 FTE (1 TA) per year for ECHA). The increased contribution to ECHA will be compensated by a reduction of the LIFE budget.

2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES

2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules

Specify frequency and conditions.

This Legislative Financial Statement includes an increase of the contribution to the ECHA and the EEA, and contribution/service level agreements with the EFSA and the EMA.

The Commission will be overall accountable for implementing the proposed Regulation as well as for reporting to the European Parliament and the Council on implementation and compliance. The agencies will report on the implementation of their contributions and of the related actions in their annual activity reports.

2.2. Management and control system(s)

2.2.1. Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

This Legislative Financial Statement includes an increase of the contribution to the ECHA and the EEA, and contribution/service level agreements with the EFSA and the EMA.

DG Environment, in the context of its supervision of decentralised entities, and the agencies will apply its respective control strategies to this expenditure.

2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them

While the Commission will be overall accountable for implementing the proposed Regulation as well as for reporting to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation and compliance, the additional resources put at the disposal of the agencies will be covered by their internal control and risk management systems that are aligned with the relevant international standards. DG Environment will apply the controls related to its supervision of decentralised agencies. No specific risks are identified in relation with the implementation of the additional budget to be provided to the agencies.

2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)

The risk of error at payment and at closure is expected to remain under 2%. The agencies are full responsibility over the implementation of their budget, while DG Environment is responsible for the regular payment of the contributions.

2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities

Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.

In addition to the controls stemming from the control strategie listed above, the action is subject to scrutiny of the Internal Audit Service, in its capacity of internal auditor of the Commission and of the decentralised agencies, and of the European Court of Auditors, in its capacity of external auditor of the EU Institutions.

The Commission maintains robust antifraud strategy, the CAFS, that is currently under revision. DG Environment complements this by a local antifraud strategy that covers the activities falling under its remit.
