China's export enterprises will once again face enormous pressure, especially those related to chemicals. In addition to facing the 337 intellectual property lawsuit in the United States, they will also have to deal with the EU's environmental pressure.

"Daily economic news" reporter learned that the end of November this year will be the European Union.

REACH

(registration, assessment, licensing and restriction) of the laws and regulations will not be allowed to enter the EU market beyond this time.

Reporters learned that

European Union

Different countries have different punishments for REACH regulations, among which Germany is one of the countries with the most severe penalties.

According to the German regulations, a breach of registration resulting from negligence registration will be fined up to 100 thousand euros; a breach of authority due to negligence will result in 1 years' imprisonment or an appropriate fine; if it is harmful to human health or the environment, it will be sentenced to a maximum of 5 years' imprisonment.

It is reported that Germany is currently updating the 2005 regulations for supervision, including the enforcement of European regulations on related substances and products.

The regulatory scope of the updated regulations includes REACH Joint submission, data sharing, high attention substances (SVHC) and restrictions in articles.

The review industry includes chemicals related industries, textiles and leather, paper industry, rubber and plastics industry, electroplating and traders. The focus of the review will be on small and medium enterprises.

Cai Zhengqi, chief executive officer of Jiangsu San o chemical technology company, told reporters that German customs officials are receiving special training in the implementation of REACH regulations.

As soon as the registration deadline arrives, many European Union countries may follow the German standards, which will bring a severe test to China's chemicals related products.

Faced with such strict regulations, many chemical enterprises in China are trying to cope with them actively.

Cai Zhengqi told reporters that for some Chinese chemical enterprises, the threshold for obtaining REACH certification is very high. One of the conditions is that there must be a registered company in Europe.

According to him, "hire Europeans to take charge of specific registration matters. Although the cost of human resources is much higher than that of domestic employees, because they are very familiar with EU regulations and technical standards and have certain resources, they are involved in all activities of REACH regulations, which is more conducive to the development of REACH registration."

For EU REACH regulations, some systems

Shoe enterprises

The industry has also expressed different voices.

Zhou Haifan, Propaganda Department of Zhejiang giant one group, said that the implementation of the law mainly tested whether the raw materials purchased were in line with environmental protection requirements, and the impact on large and long-term export enterprises of the European Union should not be great. "Reverse is a small shoe-making enterprise that has strict control over the environmental protection requirements of raw materials, and may face the risk of export setbacks."

Global market CEO Ling Feng believes that when facing the EU's environmental barriers, Chinese exporters must pass certain ways to accurately understand the needs of foreign buyers through accurate matching with foreign buyers before they can avoid the disadvantages brought about by the implementation of REACH.
