Data sharing forums crucial to the success of the Reach chemicals legislation are not functioning effectively, with lack of communication, IT inadequacies and the complexity of implementing the scheme blamed for the lack of progress.
Around 65,000 companies are estimated to have provided basic pre-registration data on the identity, production and importation of 143,000 substances to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), responsible for running Reach. Altogether, 2.7 million pre-registrations were made by the December 2008 deadline - around 15 times more than originally estimated.
