ON THE WEB ECHA appreciates the opinions of its stakeholders 23 October 2012 ECHA appreciates the interest shown in its work by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and ClientEarth in their recent REACH implementation report. Both organisations are Accredited Stakeholders of the Agency and have been working with ECHA to help realise the legislation's ambitious aims. ECHA is open to receiving constructive feedback and indeed shares some of the concerns highlighted in the report. However, the Agency refutes some of the comments made, in particular on independence and transparency of decision making. ECHA is conscious that its work and decisions are crucial for the protection of human health and the environment, and have an impact on industry. As such, ECHA makes every effort to act transparently and independently. The Agency will offer a fuller and considered reflection in the coming week and looks forward to discussing it openly with EEB and ClientEarth. Lead Registrant Workshop recordings published
Video recordings of the workshop presentations and the Q&A sessions are available online. ECHA publishes documents from the ECHA/Cefic LRI Experts workshop on read-across assessment
ECHA makes public the agenda, background documents and presentations from the ECHA/Cefic LRI Experts workshop on read-across assessment (3 October, ECHA). Both ECHA and Cefic LRI prepared a separate document to inform each other and the EU Member States for their current activities in the area of read-across, and to prepare the discussion during the Workshop. Presentations came from both ECHA and industry and provided diverse hot topics for a constructive dialogue.
