The new regulation on existing commercial chemical substances, REACH, serves to plug glaring gaps in the law and in our knowledge of the products to which we are exposed on a daily basis.
The register of substances gives the European Chemicals Agency, also created by this regulation, the authority to demand more tests than those provided for under each category, should there be grounds for so doing.
A strong and efficient agency will provide assurances that products will not be placed on the market without the necessary precautions being taken.
The sharing of data is strongly encouraged in this regulation and animal testing is only permitted if absolutely essential.
Further welcome aspects of this regulation are the imposition of a time limit for all authorisations and the mandatory submission of a substitution plan for chemicals considered to be dangerous.
Although I was pleased with the final result of the vote, I must point out that I object to the inclusion of substances in tobacco products, as they are already covered by their own legislation."@en1
