Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) Business operators and Members States’ competent authorities are required by various Union acts to submit data and information to a multitude of Union agencies, as well as to the Commission in specific cases. This generates a fragmentation of data and information on chemicals, which are held under various data sharing and use conditions and in different formats. Such fragmentation prevents public authorities, as well as the general public, from having a clear overview of what information is available on individual chemicals or groups of chemicals, of where and how information can be accessed and whether it can be used. This increases the likelihood of inconsistency between various assessments of the same chemical required by various Union acts on chemicals and of damaging the general public’s trust in the scientific grounds for Union decisions on chemicals. In order to ensure that data on chemicals is easily findable, accessible, interoperable and usable, the ECHA should establish a common data platform on chemicals. The common data platform on chemicals should serve as a single point of reference and as a broadened and shared evidence base to enable the efficient delivery of coherent hazard and risk assessments of chemicals across various Union acts on chemicals, as well as to enable the timely identification of emerging chemical risks and the drivers and impact of chemical pollution. Authorities should take the necessary measures to protect the confidentiality of data, including, where relevant, by means of physical and cybersecurity measures.
