Study reviewing ECHA published

The review finds that ECHA has made a good start as an organisation, showing flexibility and performing well. ECHA's stakeholders are satisfied with the achievements and the work the Agency has done. The authors of the report recommend that ECHA should be more transparent in its contribution to the REACH and CLP objectives, to develop scenarios to better face uncertainties while increasing efficiency, and that it should broaden stakeholder involvement and share even more of the data collected. The study was contracted by the European Commission and conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
