ECHA Newsletter enters 2012! The first issue of the ECHA Newsletter in 2012 reports back on the first lead registrant workshop held in Helsinki, talks about the registrants' obligation for a joint submission and highlights the importance of communication in the supply chain. We tell about Chesar, which is a software tool to support you with your safety assessments, and introduce REACH implementation in Slovenia, enforcement in Italy and the priorities of the Danish EU presidency related to chemicals. We have also included an interview with Mr Guido Sacconi, former Italian MEP and the Parliament's lead Rapporteur on the REACH proposal, who has recently stepped down from ECHA's Management Board. |
