The European Commission just published the second REACH review. In its <link https: ec.europa.eu docsroom documents _blank>REACH review, the European Commission notes that after 10 years, the REACH Regulation functions well, delivers results and addresses citizens’ concerns about chemical safety. However, further improvements are needed to make the legislation more efficient – especially for the evaluation, restriction and authorisation processes. The Commission will discuss the outcomes and follow-up actions of the second REACH review with the European Parliament, Member States and stakeholders at a public conference, planned for June 2018.
