Chemicals are essential to everyday life whether to power hydrogen electrolysis; charge and manufacture an electric car; produce food or protect from viruses and fungi. The EU’s Green Deal and its related legislative proposals will trigger a revolution in how chemicals are used in the EU. Industry supports a sustainable approach and a safe use of its products, investing substantially in innovation and R&D.
Our high-level panel of policy and industry representatives discussed whether the EU political agenda on chemicals match the industry one, especially when it comes to timing.
In this respect, we were pleased to welcome :
• Marius Vaščega, Head of Cabinet of Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius
