Lead Faces Threat Of New ECHA Ban
Shooting Gazette|October 2017

The use of lead shot is once again in jeopardy as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) considers restricting its use.

Lead Faces Threat Of New ECHA Ban

Before leaving office as DEFRA secretary last year, Elizabeth Truss MP rejected calls for a ban on lead shot by the Lead Ammunition Group, but it is now under threat from Europe.

The ECHA has been tasked by the European Commission to find out what it would take to standardise EU rules regarding non-lead shot over wetlands, consider whether peatlands should be added to the current restrictions, if there should be a ban on the possession of lead cartridges on or near to wetlands, and if there should be buffer zones around wetlands in which the restriction will apply.
