Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
20. Considers it crucial that the ‘Prevention’ part of the EU CBRN Action Plan should be amended in such a way as to force the chemicals industry to replace the use of high-risk chemicals with suitable lower-risk alternatives, where such replacement is possible, regardless of the economic costs; suggests that a specific link should be established with the existing REACH Regulation1, something which the version of the Action Plan proposed by the Commission rightly sought to do; 1 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24
24. Considers that it is of the utmost importance to keep a close track of all transactions involving high-risk CBRN materials in the EU, and that instead of merely ‘urging’ the industry to report on transactions, as stated in the adopted Action Plan, the Commission and the Member States should work on a proper legal framework to regulate and monitor, monitor and increase EU co-ordination with regard to transactions, thus ensuring proper and rapid reporting of all suspicious transactions as well as the loss or theft of CBRN materials; emphasises that these regulationmeasures should establish a proper basis for full transparency in all sectors dealing with CBRN agents, thus holding industries accountable for such transactions;
