This resolution gives continuity to the REACH process, which we abstained from because we felt that it did not meet the legitimate rights and concerns of consumers and of small and medium-sized enterprises, and did not protect workers or the environment. We believe that the necessary balance between protecting workers’ health, protecting the environment and developing industry was not completely struck because consumer rights were not properly guaranteed, since workers’ rights to information and health were restricted. Neither did it take proper account of micro and SMEs – since it inevitably increased the cost of registering substances without providing appropriate support – or even of the large enterprises that have now expressed their wish to replace hazardous chemicals.
Reference is now made to the measures to streamline and speed up the Commission's internal procedures for the validation and regulatory acceptance of new alternative test methods, in which the Commission will provide for a more transparent process involving consultation of all stakeholders in the run-up to any proposal for an Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Test Methods Regulation. We maintained the same position, in the expectation that there would in effect be more transparency."@en1
