EEB contribution to the Inception Impact Assessment on the revision of REACH Regulation to help achieve a toxic- free environment

The REACH Regulation is an essential tool for chemicals control in Europe. However, it needs to be improved to support the implementation and the level of ambition of the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). The EEB strongly supports the strengthening of REACH to make it more efficient, accelerate and trigger more effective protection, reduce burden on the authorities and instead, place the burden on the companies making economic profit from the manufacture, use and import of (hazardous) chemicals.

Regarding the problem definition by the REACH Inception Impact Assessment (IIA) we provide feedback on evaluation, authorisation and restriction.
