This week’s Podcast Short highlights developments out of the EU, North America and Australia.

The long-delayed draft proposal to restrict skin sensitisers in textiles could finally be on the horizon, as the European Commission has said it plans to publish the measure as soon as possible.

In the US, legal experts talk to Chemical Watch News & Insight about the potential shock waves to the TSCA programme following the Fifth Circuit’s landmark ruling that annulled the EPA’s risk management rule for methylene chloride.

Other top stories discussed this week include:

  • leaked documents from the EU include a methodology for identifying chemicals that are "critical" to the trade bloc’s industrial resilience;
  • Australia’s government confirms that it will not introduce a new packaging regime for the country, but will look to strengthen existing requirements under a new Circular Economy Roadmap; and
  • Minnesota regulators say they anticipate strong interest in exemptions from the state’s upcoming PFAS ban and are working to develop a framework to meet the expected high demand.
