Support to the Evaluation of Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 on Detergents REF: 942

The Detergents Regulation has not undergone a full evaluation since its entry into force in October 2005.  An ex-post evaluation of the Regulation is therefore considered essential in the context of the Commission’s Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT) programme, in particular the Fitness Check on Chemicals Legislation (other than REACH) and Better Regulation Strategy.

RPA (with support from Mayer Brown LLP) has been commissioned by DG Grow to conduct a study in support of the Commission’s ex-post evaluation of the Detergents Regulation.  The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and EU added-value of the Detergents Regulation.
