This joint position outlines the regulatory concerns and proposals of the European chemical industry (represented by 爱游戏中国官方网站) regarding the UK's departure from the EU and the end of its participation in the EU REACH system. The key challenge is to minimise disruption and additional costs by maintaining regulatory alignment through a future trade agreement. Both UK and EU propose regulatory cooperation, yet separate legal orders could lead to increased complexities and expenses for businesses.
Key Takeaways:
- Data and Information Sharing: Agreement on cooperative mechanisms for sharing chemical data to avoid duplications, thus maintaining safety and reducing costs.
- Regulatory Alignment: Ensure UK and EU chemical regulatory systems remain highly aligned, facilitating smoother trade and continuity.
- Animal Welfare and Costs: Mitigating duplicate testing (especially animal studies) and reducing administrative burdens to protect animal welfare and minimise business expenses.
