Subject: Renewal and new membership of the Member State Committee (MSC) of
ECHA - Appointments by 1 December 2025

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are contacting you to formally invite you to (re-)appoint your Member
State’s representative(s) for the Member State Committee (MSC) of the
European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Your continued contributions are
invaluable to ECHA and essential to our Regulatory processes and I would
like to personally thank you for your support of the work of the Member
State Committee (MSC).

This email explains, in accordance with the REACH provisions, the details
of the appointment and renewal process, the documentation required, and
provides background information on the type of expertise sought from the
MSC Member, as Members are to be appointed based on their role and
experience relevant to performing the tasks specified in Article 77(3) of
the REACH Regulation. The MSC tasks, expertise information and conflict of
interest (CoI) policy are further explained in the Annexes 2 and 3.

In order to renew the appointment of the 3-year membership period of the
current MSC Member or Alternate Member whose term of office expires
between 1 January and 30 June 2026 (Annex 1), please provide the following
documents:

•        Nomination Form (Annex 5)

Commitment (Please use only the template that can be found in the link,
all other versions of the document are invalid). If applicable, the
reappointed MSC Member may alternatively confirm by email to MSC
Secretariat that their Declaration of Interest and Commitment published on
the  <https://echadoiextprd1.powerappsportals.com/Publdecl/mscdecl/> MSC
webpage is still valid.

•        Europass CV (Annex 4) (Europass CV can also be filled in and
downloaded with the
<https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/editors/en/cv/compose> Europass online
tool but please ensure that it includes the same information as the

alternatively confirm by email to MSC Secretariat that their CV published
on the  <https://echadoiextprd1.powerappsportals.com/Publdecl/mscdecl/>

Member States have the possibility to appoint a new Member at any moment.
Based on the MSC Rules of Procedure, you may also consider nominating an
Alternate Member to the formally appointed MSC Member.

Please note that ECHA will assume that the appointed (new) Member will
start from the end of the term of office of the current Member, unless
otherwise stated in the Nomination Form. Members are expected to dedicate
at least 30% of their work time to the MSC duties for ECHA.

We request that the (re-)appointed MSC Member provides the filled
Declaration(s) and Europass CV directly to the MSC Secretariat. There is
no need to sign the declaration(s) when sending the email including the
declaration(s) from the official individual e-mail address of the intended
member (i.e. not from any functional mailbox or from other person’s e-mail
address). The intended member should address this email to
<mailto:[email-masked]> [email-masked], and include a statement
in which they declare that the information provided is correct. As stated
before, a reappointed MSC Member may confirm by email to the MSC
Secretariat that their Declaration of Interest and Commitment and/or CV
published on the
<https://echadoiextprd1.powerappsportals.com/Publdecl/mscdecl/> MSC
webpage are still valid instead of providing them again.

Please note that the Nomination Form is to be sent via email by the
Permanent Representation to the above email address, including the
signature of the MSCA. Note that also there an electronic signature is
acceptable.

ECHA will process any personal data received in accordance with Regulation
(EC) 2018/1725 on the protection of individuals with regard to the
processing of personal data by the EU institutions, bodies, offices and
agencies.

You and the (re-)appointed member are kindly invited to submit the above
mentioned documents to ECHA latest by 1 December 2025.

If you have any questions concerning the appointments, please contact the
MSC Secretariat at  <mailto:[email-masked]> [email-masked].

Yours faithfully,

Katinka van der Jagt
