It encourages registrants to get their data sharing activities ready well in advance of the next deadline and introduces some of the activities that the Member States are doing to support their industry. You can also read about how the stakeholders have helped ECHA to set future priorities at the accredited stakeholders' workshop and the ENES network meeting held in Brussels at the end of November.
