On the 01 March 2013 Norway published a proposal to implement changes to the Product Regulation No 922/2004 in order to implement the EU ban on dimethylfumarate (DMF).
The Climate and Pollution Agency (KLIF) proposes to implement the restrictions in Norwegian legislation by introducing changes to the REACH regulation and Product regulation. There is already a similar temporary prohibition on DMF embodied in the Product Regulations in Section 2-28. To avoid double regulation, this interim ban will be taken out of the Product regulation.
The implementation of the EU's new ban is not expected to have major economic consequences for Norwegian companies.
The deadline for comments is 31 May 2013.
