 The European Environmental Bureau welcomes the draft proposals from the European Commission which among others aligns the EU Mercury regulation with this present one. 

In line with earlier submissions to consultations vis a vis the coming up revision of the EU Mercury regulation (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/12924-Mercury-review-of-EU-law/F2195179_en), as well as the draft delegated act proposals concerning mercury in lighting https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives_en?text=mercury%20 ), the EEB considers important that the export of mercury-added products not allowed to be marketed in the EU, should be prohibited.
