18 May 2009 - The Chemical Business Association has called for an urgent review of funding levels for the European Chemical Agency (ECHA).
The CBA believes ECHA will be massively over-funded, based on the extent to which it underestimated the number of REACH pre-registrations it would receive.
Instead of the forecast 150,000 pre-registrations, ECHA in fact received 2.7 million - eighteen times more than it expected.
