REACH Conference 23 September 2011

What did we achieve in 2010 - how can we ease the way for 2013?

Organised by the European Commission, the conference aims to assess what we have learnt during the 2010 registration procedure, both in terms of the early results of the REACH Regulation and in terms of our processes. The conference will highlight what went well and where improvements are needed to ease the way for the 2013 registration deadline.

The event will be webstreamed at:
http://webcast.ec.europa.eu/eutv/portal/index.html

The webcast will be available in the following six languages: DE, EN, ES, FR, IT and PL. There will be a possibility to communicate directly with the conference room, to send your questions to the panelists, or to make brief comments – preferably in English.
