They include Vice President of Environmental Affairs Rebecca Tetters and CEO Michael Roman. Become Friday Tetters Questioned at the PFOS Committee, but only gave evasive answers.
“After Friday’s session, I only think of one thing: 3 million, What does PFAS do?? The Flemish have a right to clarity and all procrastination must stop. By October 1, 3M should come up with resources, methods to address treatment, and more information,” Demir explained in a press release.
She says she wants to put pressure on the company so that the company finally takes responsibility. “After speaking to 3M for several months, I can see that there is not even a start to a show.

If the company does not respond to this notice of default, Demir will enter discussions within the Flemish government and consider starting proceedings to prosecute the multinational under criminal, civil and/or administrative law.
