Description: More information: http://ec.europa.eu./avservices/video/video_prod_en.cfm?type=detail&prodid=665 New EU rules for the chemical industry -- the REACH package -- are set to improve our health and protect the environment. Obliging companies to register and provide information on the chemicals they use should enable public authorities to identify their properties more quickly and accurately. Particularly severe on toxic products, the new rules will encourage the European chemicals industry to develop new substances that are less harmful for people and the environment. As a result, the sector itself should also gain a lead in innovative and sustainable technologies.

Yes "people", because the people by their votes chose who decides in Brussels. Nice things can happen in politics too. ;-) I love the EU 07-07-12 16:56:09 _____________________________________________________
