Additional Information
ECFIA's scope is broader than monitoring the regulatory framework on EU level; many activities are on the ground projects to increase worker protection and raise awareness of best practice in terms of controlling fibrous dust exposure. With regards to costs, we do not have a manned EU office, and the "staff" are employed by the member companies, who provide work to ECFIA pro bona to further the scientific understanding and knowledge of fibre in the broader industry workplaces. In 2024 we have not worked directly with the commission nor have we engaged any intermediary to act on our behalf. The €10,000 - €24,999 covers the estimated % of the subscription fees paid to Eurometaux, ERIF and CII which we believe covers relevant activities falling under the scope of the transparency register with the commission In 2025, we have not worked directly with the commission nor have we engaged any intermediary to act on our behalf.
