Conclusions
Europe has a distinguished track record, led by industry, in innovation of
Safety, Health and Environment standards & procedures (E.g. HAZOP,
COSHH etc).
.But the world moves on. There has been a healthy debate on the
societal issues since 2000 and both EU industry and the regulators
(REACH) are preparing:
We now need to get on with the science and deliver new knowledge
The science is complex and needs interdisciplinary research
Planned FP7 EU/US Joint Calls key for success
China (CAS) and India are keen to join in
Global collaboration makes sense
Work with industry to inform regulation (REACH & EPA)
