Powell in chemical reaction as US resists EU pollution drive
By Jeremy Woolfe in Brussels
Colin Powell, the outgoing US Secretary of State, is leading
determined lobbying against the Europe Union's plans to control
potential chemical threats to human health and the environment.
The EU is proposing that companies manufacturing and importing
substances with a production volume of 1 ton or more should register
them in a single place.
They should also be required to assess the risks arising from their
use and to take measures to manage any risk they identify.
The US government has said that it "has concerns about the
implementation and compliance costs associated with the [programme]".
According to the European Commission, its Registration, Evaluation and
Authorisation of Chemicals (Reach) directive would replace over 40
existing EU directives and regulations.
The number of substances on the market in 1981 was over 100,000.
Some 30,000 will now have to be registered.
There is also a growing awareness of chemicals affecting health and
nature.
Mr Powell has sent a cable to American embassies and consulates in
Europe in an effort to combat the programme.

Powell and his masters are a bunch of fucking homicidal maniacs. Here
we see him and his criminal ilk opposing life-saving and
life-enhansing and VITALLY NECESSARY controls. It's like seeing a team
of fire fighters ruish to the burning orphanage to shave the children
inside, and having Powell et al on the roofs shooting at the fire
fighters as they tumble out of the fire engine.
