JUST ADDED:
Jim Romine, Vice
President, Regulatory Affairs, DuPont
On June 11, 2009, McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP and Chemical Watch will present a timely, in-depth update and analysis of the critical chemicals management regulatory programs and issues confronting companies in the United States. This program will focus in particular on two of the most important of the current chemicals management initiatives: REACH and the emerging proposals for TSCA reform.
We will present a series of lectures and panel discussions by leading legal, regulatory, government, NGO and industry specialists. In addition to analyzing REACH and TSCA reform issues and developments, the panelists will also provide insights on the role of chemicals management issues in product stewardship, including product development and product defense.
Program Highlights
 |
REACH |
 |
| |
 |
Updates from the EU - Presentations by ECHA and leading legal and technical REACH
practitioners addressing developments post pre-registration, including with respect to SVHCs, enforcement, SIEFs/consortia, and only representatives. |
 |
| |
 |
Perspectives from the U.S. - Legal, technical and government presentations on current and future impacts of REACH on U.S. businesses, including with respect to critical new interpretations affecting non-EU operations (e.g., re-importation), plus supply chain and trade considerations. |
 |
 |
Chemicals Management Issues |
 |
| |
 |
TSCA Reform - A cross section of stakeholders will discuss the progress of ChAMP, the case for TSCA reform, and emerging legislative activities and proposals (e.g. the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act).
|
 |
| |
 |
Global Chemicals Management - An interactive discussion on how companies are organizing to meet the challenge of global chemical management initiatives, how such initiatives are impacting product development and marketing strategies, and the steps
companies should take to defend products. |
Who should attend this program?
As REACH moves from its emphasis on pre-registration to the implementation of the registration requirements and as TSCA reform gains momentum in this country, American businesses must develop new strategies not only to meet their obligations but also to gain, or maintain, a competitive edge. This program will examine the new issues and challenges and will provide insights from a spectrum of legal, industry, NGO and government stakeholders. If you are competing in the global marketplace of chemicals and their products, you will not want to miss this event.
This course is designed to provide important and practical insights for the entire spectrum of corporate disciplines that are involved in developing and managing global chemicals management programs. We encourage corporate executives, product and value chain managers, regulatory specialists, R&D personnel and counsel, among others, to attend.
