Nano register position paper published by HCWH Europe

On 5 August 2014, the European Commission concluded its public consultation on the Impact Assessment on Possible Measures to Increase Transparency on Nanomaterials on the Market. HCWH Europe has published a new position paper containing a selection of reponses to the consultation.

Due to nanomaterials’ potential risk to human health and the environment, HCWH Europe supports the creation of a European-level nanomaterials registry, with registration by use for all actors along the supply chain. A comprehensive registry will best enable decision makers to create appropriate, effective, and efficient responses to the health and environmental risks posed by nanomaterials.
