In June 2025, the European Parliament and the Council adopted a provisional agreement<\/strong> aimed at streamlining chemical safety assessments within the European Union (EU).<\/p>\n

At present, the regulatory framework for chemicals is made up of dozens of standards. The goal is to make chemical safety assessments simpler, more consistent and more transparent in all member countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In line with the EU’s chemicals strategy<\/a><\/span>, the EU is proposing a “one substance, one assessment<\/strong>” approach, comprising three proposals:<\/p>\n

1. A regulation establishing a common chemicals data platform:<\/strong>
\nData and information on chemicals would be brought together on a single platform managed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This database would contain studies carried out on the products concerned, centralize human biomonitoring information generated in the EU, and also include an early warning system for emerging chemical risks.<\/p>\n

2. A directive reassigning technical tasks to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA):<\/strong>
\nTo enhance transparency, procedures relating to the list of substances subject to restrictions in the EU would no longer be the responsibility of the Commission, but of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), seen as more legitimate. The Commission would nevertheless be able to review the list periodically.<\/p>\n

3. A regulation to improve cooperation in the field of chemicals:<\/strong>
\nCooperation between the Commission, ECHA and other EU bodies would be strengthened, as it is seen as essential to the success of this rationalization. Exchanges between these bodies would also be facilitated, notably by a specific procedure in the event of scientific disagreements.<\/p>\n

\n

A negotiating mandate has been adopted, meaning that the European Parliament and Council are ready to negotiate the final form of the legislation shortly.<\/p>\n
