IFRA backs better regulation in new European statement
IFRA has joined more than 20 other European and international trade associations in signing a cross-industry joint statement on Better Regulation.
The statement gives recommendations on further improving the European policy-making process, calling on the European Commission and other EU institutions to create EU laws based on evidence-based impact assessments and to allow sufficient time and resources to be allocated at all phases of the decision-making process.
The signatories also call for consultations to be conducted via a thorough process involving experts and input from all relevant stakeholders, and for key regulatory provisions, such as definitions and scope, to be agreed upon and clearly defined at a primary legislative stage.
The statement asks for the impact on innovation to be considered in all legislative initiatives and for EU legislation to be implemented and enforced in a harmonized way, safeguarding the EU single market.

A letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, coordinated by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and co-signed by IFRA and 17 other industry associations, says that the development of the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability should not lead to a root-and-branch rethink of the EU's REACH chemicals legislation.
