Workshop on Streamlining applications for authorisation

Workshop on Streamlining applications for authorisation

17 November | Brussels, Belgium


Purpose

This workshop was a follow-up to the 'Lessons Learned' conference on applications for authorisation, held in Helsinki on 10-11 February 2015.

The aim of this workshop was to further improve the functioning of the application for authorisation process under the REACH Regulation by focusing on two aspects: how to make 'fit-for-purpose' applications in general and how to fulfil the information requirements for 'upstream' applications.

Date and venue

The workshop was organised jointly by the European Commission and ECHA and took place at the Berlaymont building in Brussels on 17 November.
