Cefic Lab – Legal Horizon: staying ahead of legal developments in the chemical sector

Staying on top of legal trends is paramount, particularly in the fast-evolving landscape of the European chemical industry. To support the legal community across our membership, Cefic invites legal professionals from its network to a dedicated, one-day workshop focused on key legal developments impacting our sector.

Event legal

Over three sessions, participants will discuss key themes, including:

  1. REACH enforcement: how to prepare inspections on site, understand ECHA’s role in enforcement, and examine remedies at EU level.  
  2. EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive: As discussions continue on the Commission’s simplification proposals, we will examine legal uncertainties around transition plans, civil liability, and scope of due diligence duties.  
  3. Polluter Pays Principle (PPP) & Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Legal implications of the PPP and the design of the first EPR for diffuse pollution under the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.  

This workshop will gather experts from across Europe to:

  • Gain updates on important legal developments in Europe;
  • Understand requirements and prepare for compliance;
  • Exchange insights, views and share experiences.

Join us to strengthen your legal preparedness and stay ahead in the evolving legal landscape of the chemical sector.

Cefic Labs offer the opportunity to meet, exchange and advance industry’s knowledge on various operational issues, including sustainability, legal affairs, transport and logistics, etc. They serve as a platform to generate new ideas, share knowledge and explore solutions to issues facing the EU chemicals industry.  This invitation is personal to you as a member of Cefic or a national federation. Please note that the event will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
