EU publishes REACH fees regulation

The fees and charges that will be charged for registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals under the new REACH registration procedures have been adopted by the European Commission and a regulation has now been published in the Official Journal. The basic registration fee will range from €1,600 for substances produced in volumes below 10 tonnes/year, to €31,000 for those above 1,000 tonnes/year. There will be up to 90% discounts for smaller firms and 25% reduction for firms that cooperate together on registrations. The fees, which will be payable to European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), were approved by the Committee of Member State representatives in December.
