Today, the European Commission presented an Action Plan for the Chemicals Industry to strengthen the competitiveness and modernisation of the EU chemical sector.
The Action Plan addresses key challenges, namely high energy costs, unfair global competition, and weak demand, while promoting investment in innovation and sustainability. The Action Plan is accompanied by a simplification omnibus on chemicals – the sixth that the Commission has presented in this mandate so far – to further streamline and simplify key EU chemicals legislation, alongside a proposal to strengthen the governance and financial sustainability of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
