Comments on CLP simplification proposals following the reality check workshop on simplification (CLP)
On 16 May 2025 the Commission hosted a ‘Reality Check Workshop’ on “the possible simplification” of the CLP Regulation. This initiative is presented within the broader context of the Commission’s stated objective “to lighten the regulatory burden for people, businesses and administrations in the EU to boost prosperity and resilience of the EU”. The Commission President’s announcement to present “by summer” an omnibus package for the chemical sector provides additional context.
