The Brexit dust has far from settled yet, but many British
companies are bending over backwards to secure the export of
chemicals to Europe. 'These substances need to be re-registered
and that process is gaining momentum', says Michiel van der
Maat, director of corporate services at financial service provider
Intertrust. 'A distribution country such as the Netherlands has
now great opportunities to attract British companies.'
Brexit poses major challenges to many British companies, one of
them being that companies exporting chemical substances to member
states of the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA)
must have these substances re-registered in the EU. This is done by
means of a so-called REACH registration with the European Chemicals
Agency (ECHA).
