As reported by euractiv, Geert Dancet, the former boss of the European Chemicals Agency, says the EU could benefit from some going back to the drawing board and integrating a lot more legislation into REACH.

The complete press report can be found following the link below. Read an abstract here:

Europe’s chemical management rules, REACH, are over a decade old and the man seen as the architect of the legislation still thinks it is the most modern of its kind in the world. But the former boss of the European Chemicals Agency says the EU could do with going back to the drawing board.

Geert Dancet was executive director of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) for a decade and former head of the European Commission’s REACH unit until 2007. He is now a consultant on chemicals legislation and competition matters.

He spoke to EURACTIV’s Sam Morgan on the sidelines of the European Precious Metals Federation’s event on chemical management and the circular economy.
