information sharing mechanisms with the EU, in line with the relevant provisions set
out in UK and EU regulation and existing third-country mechanisms. We continue to
push for this, but the EU has so far rejected sectoral annexes.</p><p> </p><p>We have

more complete and better-quality registration dossiers. This approach also mitigates
against further risk to human health and the environment because information on the
higher tonnage and higher risk chemicals is provided first, with lesser tonnage and
lower risk chemicals following.</p>
