"Chemicals play a key role in our modern-day society. We use them every day, in items ranging from medicines to cars and building materials to toys. The European Union’s chemical industry is the third biggest industry in the world, generating waste directly from dangerous chemical substances and preparations. The aim of the regulation on the export and import of dangerous chemicals is to promote responsibilities and joint cooperation efforts on the international transportation of chemicals that pose a risk, with a view to protecting human health and the environment against potential harm. The regulation is applied to all chemicals exported to other parties to the convention or other countries, except where there is a conflict between the relevant provisions and any specific requirement of the parties or countries in question, along with compliance with the regulation’s provisions on classifying, packaging and labelling dangerous chemicals. The EU is a leading global player in the area of environmental legislation, and I think that we have a duty to maintain this position."@en1
