The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) has presented a position paper strongly supporting REACH - but also asking for some important improvements. The construction sector - employing 26 million workers mostly in small sized companies within EU - is a major downstream user of chemicals and chemical-containing articles. FIEC asks for stronger rules to make sure that hazardous substances are substituted. Downstream users should be granted access to information on chemical content of articles they use.
