The signatories of this joint statement – representing the UK and EU chemical and cosmetics industries – call for the full implementation of the Chemicals Annex within the EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). This would establish a structured, predictable, and efficient regulatory framework, supporting the highly integrated trade relationship between the EU and UK. Regulatory cooperation would reduce duplication, lower costs, and boost competitiveness, benefiting both markets and ensuring high standards for health and environmental protection.
