Chemical Watch- Parliament plenary vote on the Construction Products Regulation

At a second reading plenary vote today, the European Parliament adopted the complete text of the proposed construction products Regulation that was adopted by the Council of Ministers in December. The vote means the Regulation should be adopted in the next few months.
Today's agreement adds a requirement which says that in addition to the current requirements, information referred to in articles 31 or 33 of the REACH Regulation must be provided together with the declaration of performance. Like many of the construction products Regulation' provisions, it would apply from 1 July 2013.
