General Scheme of the Prohibition of Certain Products Containing Plastic Microbeads Bill 2018: Discussion
Dr. Róisín Nash:
It is not. Mr. Chave referred to the ECHA legislation that is going to come in. He is the most knowledgeable person here on that. The Irish legislation is a step towards that. Are we taking a step back if we align ourselves with the UK definition of microplastic and introduce that in our legislation? Will we still have to take a step forward in 2021 to get to where the Irish legislation is currently?
