The European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) is praising a recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) concerning chemical substances categorised as being ‘of very high concern’ on account of their carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic properties.

In a judgment issued earlier this month, the CJEU endorsed the earlier interpretation by five member states of a point in the REACH regulation concerning chemical that requires vendors of products containing these substances to supply their customers with better information.
