tabling member printed	Lord Lester of Herne Hill
uin	HL681
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) provides a range of centralised functions across a number of EU chemicals regimes, including facilitating collective decisions amongst EU Member States. Under the EU REACH Regulation, it manages data about chemicals on the EU market. Chemicals manufactured or imported in quantities above 1 tonne a year must be registered with ECHA to access the single market.</p><p>The UK’s current involvement with ECHA comes as part of our membership of EU. ECHA is funded mainly through a combination of industry fees for a variety of the services it provides and direct EU funding. The higher the income generated from fees, the lower the EU budget subsidy. As ECHA is an agency of the EU, the UK’s contribution to its running costs is through our general contribution to the EU budget.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 20/07/2017 15:13:15 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
