DEFRA, with the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and the Devolved Administrations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, have issued a consultation inviting views on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, commonly referred to as REACH. The consultation is focussed on the draft Regulations and administrative arrangements for REACH’s proposed enforcement in the UK. It sets out how the Government proposes to meet the enforcement requirement in a proportionate manner i.e. by ensuring that compliance and enforcement burdens on businesses and the regulators are no greater than is strictly necessary.The consultation will end on 25 August 2008.
