| Abstract: | The new European Union Regulation for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals which came into force in June 2007 requires companies to work together on information relating to substances in their products in order to share data and the cost of generating new data, in order to minimise animal testing and reduce the financial burden associated with testing costs. Registrants of the same substance will be allocated to Substance Information Exchange Fora and may even form their own consortia, all with their own potential Competition Law aspects. |
