Dear Ms. Gallina, 

We, a coalition of 29 NGOs dedicated to protecting human health and the environment, urgently call upon the Commission to ban the active substance fluopyram, a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). The significant emissions of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) from fluopyram and the resulting groundwater contamination clearly demonstrate that the substance does not meet the requirements of the Pesticide Regulation 1107/2009.
