EU Parliament to Enhance Oversight of Chemical Safety Standards

Brussels – European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety members to consider the draft reports on the ‘one substance – one assessment’ legislative package.

The European Commission adopted the ‘one substance – one assessment’ legislative package to enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, coherence, and transparency of safety assessments of chemicals across different parts of EU legislation and the EU agencies involved in the processes. This blank” rel=”noopener”>package supported the role of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), which will be in charge of a central IT infrastructure converging the data on chemicals available in the EU.

On 25th November the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety will meet to discuss important issues, including the re-attribution of scientific and technical tasks, improving cooperation among Union agencies in the area of chemicals, re-attributing scientific and technical tasks to the European Chemicals Agency, and establishing a common data platform on chemicals, along with a monitoring and outlook framework for chemicals.

The rapporteur will present to the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety members draft reports on the ‘one substance – one assessment’ legislative package. These reports suggest the inclusion of data on substances in articles and seek to clarify and strengthen controls on data handling, confidentiality, and stakeholder involvement.

    Oh, fantastic! Just what we needed—more bureaucratic red tape to ensure that our chemicals are safe. Because, you know, nothing says “efficiency” like a few more layers of paperwork and a central IT system that’ll probably crash during a crucial meeting. 🥴💼
