Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that the European Chemicals Agency ('ECHA') is the driving force among regulatory authorities in implementing the Union's chemicals legislation for the benefit of human health and the environment as well as for innovation and competitiveness; notes that it provides information on chemicals, helps companies comply with legislation and advances the safe use of chemicals; underlines that Regulation (EC) No 1907/20061a (REACH Regulation) specifies that this should be done in a way that ensures that animal testing is only ever a last resort and that the use of non- animal methods is promoted; __________________ 1aRegulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 b (new) 8b. Asks ECHA to improve the transparency and the user-friendliness of its database, and the interface between evaluation and follow-up risk management, including, for example, a short note on the ECHA’s registered substances in the database with regard to the compliance and evaluation status of the dossiers adding outcome of substance evaluation (further risk management needed or not), stating explicitly if the dossier was found non-compliant and on what ground and adding the outcome of Board of Appeal decisions as well as the follow up delivered or intended by ECHA;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 c (new) 8c. Asks ECHA to develop guidance on the minimum information requirements needed to justify granting derogations to restrictions and to ensure that no derogation is accepted when registration dossiers are not compliant or updated;
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Notes that ECHA collaborates closely with other agencies, such as the European Food Safety Authority, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the European Medicines Agency, through memoranda of understanding; underlines the importance of such an approach, in order to ensure consistency between the work of those agencies and to meet the requirements of sound financial management; welcomes the sharing of services and encourages cooperation among the agencies where and when possible;
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Notes that ECHA collaborates closely with other agencies, such as the European Food Safety Authority, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the European Medicines Agency,
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Recognises that, since the final registration deadline under Regulation (EC) No 1907/20061 ('REACH Regulation') in 2018, ECHA's fee income has significantly reduced, requiring it to rely increasingly on the Union to finance its operations; recognizes that the fee income is projected to continue declining without a sufficient level of certainty; stresses that ECHA should be governed by a sustainable and predictable financing model; highlights that persistence of budgetary uncertainty can have negative consequences on the exercise of ECHA's mandate; __________________ 1Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Calls on ECHA to enforce more strictly the removal from the market of chemicals with incomplete registration dossiers in accordance with the REACH principal of ‘no data, no market’; notes ECHA’s commitment to reviewing all registration dossiers by 2027 and its publication in December 2019 of a list of more than 21 000 registered substances mapped in its chemical universe and assigned to pools that indicate the regulatory actions in place, initiated, ongoing, or under consideration; expresses concern that the majority of REACH-registered substances have not yet been assigned one of these pools, meaning they have not gone through any evaluation or prioritisation procedure to decide on the need for further regulatory action; recognises that fully and strictly enforcing the ‘no data, no market’ principle would require a full review of all dossiers and therefore significantly increase the programme’s costs;
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Regrets the lack of resources in the ECHA budget dedicated specifically to ensuring knowledge and promotion of non-animal testing methods; reiterates its call to provide resources for staff within ECHA exclusively dedicated to animal protection and the promotion of non- animal methods across all ECHA activities1a; __________________ 1aEuropean Parliament resolution of 10 July 2020 on the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, P9 TA(2020)0201
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Calls on the Commission to immediately recognise and restrict substances on the ECHA's Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern by including them in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation, the so-called 'Authorisation List'; expresses serious concern that while ECHA has so far recommended 92 substances for the Annex XIV authorisation list, the Commission has only taken action on 54 of them, with no decision yet made on the remaining 38;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Recognises that the new organisational structure, introduced at the start of 2019, was designed to increase ECHA's interconnectivity and facilitate more collaborative ways of working; welcomes the 50 % increase in full compliance checks of substances compared to 2018, achieved as a result of an increased focus on compliance checks through internal staff redeployment and without additional resources allocated to ECHA;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 a (new) 8a. Encourages ECHA to pursue its efforts to perform its REACH dossier evaluation checks and to make the process more effective; recalls that dossiers evaluation checks on over 2 000 dossiers covering 700 substances revealed that 70 % of the dossiers were not compliant with the legal information requirements of REACH or did not contain sufficient information to ensure a safe use for Union citizens and the environment;
