Business for stronger REACH
— new report from ChemSec
On Tuesday 18 January, the International Chemical Secretariat (ChemSec) presented “What we need from REACH” - a new publication where companies and organisations argue for a stronger European chemical legislation. The release took place at the European Parliament at a reception hosted by MEP Lena Ek, Rapporteur on REACH for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. Present at the release were also some of the companies and organisations that contributed to the publication.
Chemical policy is not just a concern for the producers of chemicals. ChemSec believes it is unfair that the companies and businesses that could ultimately suffer the financial consequences of inadequate information about chemicals have so far received little attention in the debate over the EU Commission’s proposal for new chemicals legislation (REACH). Therefore ChemSec has given several companies and stakeholder organisations the opportunity to describe their motives for demanding stronger chemical legislation.
