EU Reach Officials Sympathetic to Problems Associated with Registering Low-Volume Chemicals

According to a report in Ink World, European Union officials have been reiterating their intention to be sympathetic to the problems of chemicals suppliers in complying with the EU’s REACH legislation, particularly the need to register low-volume substances by mid-2018. Most recently at a meeting in Florence, Italy where Geert Dancet, executive director of the Helsinki-based European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), told the annual assembly of the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), "We will make sure that substances critical for downstream sectors will be registered.”

ECHA and the European Commission, the EU's Brussels-based executive to which the agency is accountable, have also been giving other assurances on a number of other issues on REACH that have been worrying downstream sectors, particularly formulators of products like inks, coatings and adhesives.
