(From ec.europa.eu)
DG GROW is conducting a study on the Cumulative Cost Assessment for the EU chemical industry, and invites European companies operating in the chemical sector to share their experience of cost effects of EU legislation.
The aim of this study is to analyse cumulative cost effects of the most relevant EU legislation on the chemical industry.
The study will identify and quantify regulatory costs, both direct and indirect, which specifically affect the EU chemical industry. The analysed EU legislation includes chemical legislation, industrial emissions and process legislation, workers safety legislation, customs and trade legislation, transport legislation and consumer safety legislation.
As the study on Cumulative Costs Assessment for the EU Chemical Industry is facing a decisive and final phase, the European Commission encourages European companies operating in the chemical sector to participate to the online survey that the consultancy team of Technopolis Group is carrying out, in order to validate the preliminary findings.
The study is being carried out by the contractor Technopolis Group, under the specific contract no. 30-CE-0658657/00-88, Framework Contract no. ENTR/172/PP/2012/FC - LOT 4. and is part of the Commission Work Programme for 2015, as a follow-up to the Regulatory Fitness and Performance (REFIT) Communication, published in October 2013 (COM(2013) 685 final).
Cumulative Cost Assesment for the Chemicals industry is listed, among others, under the title 'Fitness Checks, Cumulative Cost Assessments and Evaluations planned' in the work programme.
