answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2018 answer text <p>The detail of the UK’s association to the EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation &amp; restriction of Chemicals programme after the UK leaves the EU is part of ongoing negotiations. The UK and the EU have a mutual interest in maintaining our integrated chemical supply chains as the chemicals industry is an economically significant sector in both regions, and it underpins key downstream sectors including automotive, aerospace, construction and pharmaceuticals. In the White Paper on our future relationship with the European Union published in July, the UK has proposed that chemicals are part of a UK-EU free trade area on goods, with continued UK participation in the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) underpinning this arrangement. This proposal is part of ongoing negotiation.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 09/11/2018 14:57:52 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2018 answer text <p>As set out in the Government’s White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union we are aiming for a UK-EU free trade area on goods, including chemicals, to ensure trade is as free and frictionless as possible. We are seeking participation in the European Chemical Agency, accepting its rules including the REACH Regulation and contributing to its costs.</p><p>As part of this, we would be seeking to secure access to relevant IT systems and data. This approach will enable us to meet our objective of ensuring that chemicals only need to be approved once in either market and ensure that UK businesses can continue to register chemical substances directly, rather than working through an EU-based representative.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 24/10/2018 10:45:36 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
