REACH: About the Naming and the Identification of Substances

The REACH Regulation 'is based on the principle that industry should manufacture, import or use substances or place them on the market with such responsibility and care as may be required to ensure that, under reasonably foreseeable conditions, human health and the environment are not adversely affected.'

Under the REACH Regulation, companies have the responsibility for the safe use of their substances along the entire supply chain. Companies, their manufacturing processes, products and customers are highly individual and differ from each other considerably. Consequently, there is no generally applicable solution for all situations. Moreover, Guidance documents and helpdesks cannot give exhaustive answers to all questions - even less so as their answers are never legally binding25; they only provide support in the practical implementation or interpretation of the REACH Regulation. Proposals for solutions to many questions and problems, which arise in practical implementation, as well as relevant methods will be developed only over the next few years. Companies can assume their responsibility under REACH in a useful way only if they are free to benefit from the flexibility given by the REACH Regulation. For this reason, Guidance documents and other implementation aids (e.g. national helpdesks or associations) should not limit this flexibility; they should focus on hands-on information and methods for REACH implementation in operational practice.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
