EU and Japanese chemical industries demand changes to REACH fees

摘要

There are still major concerns with the European Commission proposal for a regulation on the fees to be charged under REACH, with both the European and Japanese chemical bodies writing to legislators on the issue last week. "As currently drafted, we believe that the Fees Regulation cannot be adopted," stated the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), adding that achieving transparency, proportionality and workability will require "fundamental changes" to the current proposal.
