REACH Progress Report Cites Familiar Problems, With Some Improvement

摘要

Dossiers evaluated in 2012 under the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals program showed some familiar problems, but there are signs of improvement, according to the European Chemicals Agency's Executive Director Geert Dancet. "We do acknowledge changes for the better," Dancet says in a foreword to the agency's 2012 Progress Report. "Most registrants receiving draft or adopted decisions from ECHA have taken them seriously and improved the descriptions of substance identity and read-across."
