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
