MEP Dimitris Tsiodras, rapporteur for the Environment Committee, supports establishing a chemicals data super platform under the management of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The proposal aligns with the EU's Chemical Strategy for Sustainability and forms part of the "One Substance, One Assessment" package aimed at improving data accessibility and streamlining chemicals regulation.

A Unified Chemicals Data Platform

The proposed chemicals data platform is designed to consolidate data from 70 EU laws, including REACH, into a single system managed by ECHA. It will serve as a centralised repository to make chemicals-related data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). The platform aims to enhance the coherence and transparency of chemicals safety assessments across the EU while providing a broad evidence base for regulatory and scientific decision-making.

Legislative Context and Stakeholder Input

This initiative is part of a legislative package under the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, which also proposes reallocating scientific and technical tasks among EU agencies. However, a proposed ECHA Basic Regulation to bolster the agency's governance and funding has been delayed by DG Internal Market. Stakeholders such as CEFIC and ClientEarth have contributed input to the draft proposals​​.

Challenges and Timeline

MEPs have until 3 December 2024 to propose amendments, with a committee vote expected on 18 February 2025. The rapporteur has highlighted the importance of safeguarding data confidentiality, ensuring robust validation mechanisms, and preventing administrative duplication. The Council adopted its position in June 2024, paving the way for the European Parliament’s deliberations​​.

If approved, the chemicals data super platform promises to strengthen chemical safety, protect public health, and drive sustainability while addressing emerging risks. By unifying data processes, the EU is poised to lead in chemical regulatory transparency and innovation.
