BRUSSELS - Safer chemicals NGO ChemSec is urging the European Commission (EC) against succumbing to industry pressure to delay its planned revision of the REACH chemical regulations which was due by the end of this year.
Maroš Šefčovič, the EC’s new vice-president of the EU’s environmental policies, last week said he was unable to give a date for the review's completion, saying only it would be tabled “when it’s ready”, provoking speculation it has been shelved.
