LEAD-FREE EUROPE
The European Chemicals Agency has proposed regulations that would ban all use of lead in shotgun and rifle ammunition in the EU. The proposals include a five year transition to a complete ban on the use and sale of all lead shotgun and rifle ammunition with a possible derogation for events such as Olympic shooting where lead can be prevented from reaching the wider environment.The UK will not be obliged to copy the proposal however it is regarded as likely to influence the UK’s regulations
