European Union Considers Passing Stricter Chemicals Law;   Major
Electronics Manufacturers Worldwide Express   Concern



Jul 24,  2006



The  majority of countries with the largest electronics   manufacturers
outside of Europe are coming  together to amend proposed  legislation
that could have a big impact on the  electronics industry  outside of the
European Union (EU). The EU is considering  passing the  Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals (REACH)   legislation. This
legislation would only allow chemicals that have been  shown to  be safe,
or where the risks have been examined, to be used  in equipment made in
or imported into Europe. And the law would   mandate full responsibility
onto the companies that create and use the  chemicals  to provide the
REACH required paperwork, which could be a  big added expense to
companies, especially electronics companies. The  United States, Japan,
India, Korean, and nine other  countries have  voiced their concerns
about REACH, and have expressed their  interest  in working with the EU
to make the proposed legislation more feasible   for both sides.
