The European Commission has announced a “Chemicals Industry Package” (CIP) for the 4th quarter of 2025, which will include various chemical policy initiatives. A key element of the CIP will be the revision of the REACH Regulation, which is currently being prepared by the EU Commission. In the BDI position paper “Chemicals policy guidelines 2025 - Revision of the REACH Regulation”, the BDI sets out which aspects should be taken into account in the revision. In the BDI's view, the existing regulations must be adapted and simplified in a targeted manner in order to make them more practicable and efficient and to reduce unnecessary burdens for companies.
