EU high-level chemical group gives first report

ENDS Europe
Thursday 20 December 2007

A high-level advisory group created by the European commission to help guide the EU's chemical industry through a period of rapid change made its first recommendations this week. The high-level group (HLG) on chemicals said industry and government should strengthen innovation networks, increase research and development spending, create new professions - such as "product engineers" responsible for several aspects of a chemical - and improve communications. The HLG's creation in June coincided with the entry-into-force of the EU's new Reach chemical policy reform (EED 10/09/07). See European commission press release, HLG website and Cefic reaction.
