Safer chemicals within REACH

More information: http://ec.europa.eu./avservices/video...
New EU rules for the chemical industry -- the REACH package -- are set to improve our health and protect the environment. Obliging companies to register and provide information on the chemicals they use should enable public authorities to identify their properties more quickly and accurately. Particularly severe on toxic products, the new rules will encourage the European chemicals industry to develop new substances that are less harmful for people and the environment. As a result, the sector itself should also gain a lead in innovative and sustainable technologies.

This is great! The chemical industry was fighting REACH pretty much, but they lost (got just a few of their desired relaxations) and people won. Yes "people", because the people by their votes chose who decides in Brussels. Nice things can happen in politics too. ;-) I love the EU

This is great, E.U is finally doing something good for us.

Ban all toxic chemicals, there are safer alternatives to toxic chemicals, just the laziness and greed in the chemical industry has stood against banning toxic chemicals

A device has been invented that can detect what chemicals are in food in less that 10 seconds, those working at the REACH program should know about this and support the mass production of that device with funds.

And also make the rules even stricter than REACH.
