摘要

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has now been operating in Helsinki more than one year, but only in June did it start its principal task of implementing Reach, when the pre-registration phase began, Pre-registration has started more or less as expected, without major problems. One of the main goals of pre-registration is to facilitate the formation of Substance Information Exchange Forums (Sief), which in turn are expected to collect and in some cases produce the information necessary to evaluate chemicals.
