"How is REACH doing five years after the Regulation went live? The European Commission and ECHA, the European Chemicals Agency, think things are going well. The trade unions are less enthused, and point to a string of failings in the new system that must be addressed in short order for the expected health benefits for workers, consumers and the environment to happen. We take a helicopter view of one of the most ambitious legislative reforms of the last twenty years in Europe."
