Companies that import chemicals from an EU-based manufacturer may need to take on registration obligations in order to continue importing those products.
I was delighted to have spoken alongside colleagues from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy at the British Adhesives and Sealant Association event on March 28. I highlighted the actions that businesses need to take in order to comply with the UK regulatory framework for chemicals in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
We are aware of a number of industries that use chemicals, including the adhesives and sealants industry, and appreciate the importance of ensuring continuity in a no-deal EU exit scenario. It is our top priority to deliver a negotiated deal, but it is the job of a responsible government to ensure we are prepared for all scenarios, including no deal, and to support industry in planning for this.
