On 20 September 2011 a Report<\/a> was issued from the Directors’ Contact Group between Commission, ECHA & Industry Associations on Meeting the 1st REACH Registration Deadline. \u00a0The first deadline period was from FEB 2011 to MAR 2011.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Notes and summary of the Report<\/a> are repeated below:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Notes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The report<\/a> is written with a multiplicity of audiences in mind. First and foremost it is intended to inform the Management Board of the European Chemicals Agency\u00a0(ECHA) and the Competent Authorities on REACH And Classification And\u00a0Labeling (CARACAL) of the work of the DCG. It is though also intended to\u00a0provide a transparent account to other interested parties, in particular national and\u00a0EU industry organisations and their members, non governmental organisations\u00a0representing workers, consumers and the environment and similar organisations in\u00a0third countries interested in REACH and CLP.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This report<\/a> has been agreed by the members of the Directors\u2019 Contact Group. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Summary<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1907\/2006 of the European Parliament and the\u00a0Council on 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation and\u00a0Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) marked a milestone in the modernisation of\u00a0the European chemicals legislation. REACH is widely recognised as being the most\u00a0ambitious and comprehensive piece of chemicals legislation in the world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

REACH set 30 November 2010 as the deadline for all manufacturers and importers\u00a0of high volume substances and substances of particular concern to register their\u00a0chemicals, thus subjecting a large proportion of the volume of chemicals on the EU\u00a0market to the REACH rules.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recognising that fulfilling the REACH requirements by this deadline would present\u00a0significant challenges to industry, the Commission invited six industry organisations\u00a0and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to nominate members to and thereby\u00a0set up the Directors’ Contact Group (DCG). The purpose of the DCG was to\u00a0monitor progress towards meeting the first registration deadline and to reduce\u00a0practical obstacles to registration identified by industry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the course of 2010 the DCG identified and addressed in total 28 issues,\u00a0contributing to the successful completion of registration by the first deadline. The\u00a0practical co-operation between the Commission, ECHA and industry associations\u00a0therefore proved successful, demonstrating that obstacles to registration can be\u00a0reduced. This clear learning from the efforts in 2010 made the Commission decide to\u00a0continue the work of the DCG with the aim of continuing the registration success\u00a0story through the next major registration deadline of 31 May 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
