Thompson Coburn Partner Ed Cohen has written an article titled "'REACH' - Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals: An Overview of the EU’s New Directive," which outlines the European Union's (“EU”) new directive requiring EU companies to register their chemical substances before placing them on the EU market. While REACH does not technically apply to U.S. businesses, it is expected to nevertheless have a significant impact on chemical and other companies whose products are exported to Europe. This primer focuses on basic REACH questions, including: Who must register? What is “registration”? When must registration occur? How will U.S. businesses be affected?
