"The labelling of, and providing of information on, hazardous substances contained in products of all kinds, whether they be chemical or construction products, is one of the achievements of the European Union.
Ever since the REACH Regulation came into force, the EU has demonstrated the added value that it brings with regard to the safety and transparency of hazardous substances. Once again, in Strasbourg, we have adopted a regulation that harmonises the conditions for the marketing of construction products and ensured that the ‘declaration of performance’ of each product includes information on hazardous substances.
Health and safety are priorities, and we should welcome the fact that European standards allow for this high level of transparency and safety. Nevertheless, while our internal market is now protected, can the same be said about the globalised market we are in? We must now use our influence with our partners outside the EU, who may not necessarily have the same level of standards."@en1
