Press Release – Bridging the Governance Gap: Divergent EU Approaches to Nano and Advanced Materials

The NIA is calling out a damaging split at the heart of the European Commission, where the drive for industrial leadership in advanced materials is being undermined by contradictory regulatory signals from within the Commission itself.Industry is being asked to meet extensive testing obligations for nanoforms before they can reach the market, even at low scale, with no clear guidance on how to apply those requirements proportionately.The NIA's position paper proposes regulatory sandboxes and cross-sector dialogues as practical tools to restore industry confidence without weakening Europe's health and environmental protections.
