    FEICA cosigns industry position paper on UK-EU chemicals regulatory cooperation

    FEICA has cosigned a position paper calling for the full implementation of the Chemicals Annex under the EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The paper highlights the importance of structured regulatory cooperation to support business growth, competitiveness, and high standards of consumer and environmental protection in both regions.

    Key points from the position paper include:

    •  Urging the implementation of regular and structured meetings between UK and EU regulators and agencies.

    •  Supporting cooperation on ongoing and emerging priorities, such as the REACH and CLP regulations.

    •  Promoting the exchange of non-confidential information and best practices, including scientific data and risk assessment approaches.

    •  Encouraging collaboration on non-animal New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA) for chemicals safety.

    The paper outlines how regulatory cooperation will reduce costs and administrative burdens, unlock resources for innovation, and ensure products remain suitable for both markets.
