Response to Proposal for a basic regulation of the European Chemicals Agency

7 Oct 2022

Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH (LLI) is grateful for the opportunity to contribute some basic comments on the “Proposal for a basic regulation of the European Chemicals Agency”. 1. LLI is committed to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies, which is reflected in constant investments in research and development. In this context as part of the adaptation of ECHA's mandate and structure, as well as the associated simplification and precision of the rules, the legislative decision process should be revised. The used model forces the industry to change its approved processes at any price or simply to stop the production. Instead, these "short-term forced innovations" lead to a higher risk for human life and the environment, while long-term sustainable developments are hindered by binding enormous human and financial resources. In order to avoid such misguided developments, industry on the one hand and sector-specific authorities, such as EASA, ESA and EDA in the case of aviation sector, on the other hand must be involved in the regulatory decision-making process. This process would not be simplified, but the subsequent effort for the authorities as well as the industry will be drastically reduced in the number and form of applications. Further higher efficiency can be achieved by merging other European institutions with similar mandates. This could create actual synergies and avoid double-regulations. 2. The financing of ECHA should not rely on fees that are imposed on industry by ECHA itself. This model would question the independence and objectivity of a European authority. The funding should be financed from the budget of the European Union, which is managed by democratic institutions.
