LANXESS Position: How to simplify REACH
Background: In her political guidelines Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that she would “put forward a new chemicals industry package, aiming to simplify REACH”. She did not clarify though whether this simplification will be achieved by revising the REACH core legal text or by adapting the existing REACH Regulation, e.g. by using implementing regulation.
LANXESS welcomes any effort to simplify the existing REACH framework which is the most comprehensive European legislation and the most complex chemicals legislation in the world. Emphasis should be put on the aspects depicted in our position paper.
