Lord Callanan (Con)
No. We intend the system in the UK to be as safe and as effective as the EU REACH system.
Baroness Bowles of Berkhamsted (LD) [V]
Under the Northern Ireland protocol, the process for Northern Ireland businesses moving goods to and from the EU under EU REACH will not change. What does that mean for goods going from Britain to Northern Ireland? Will Northern Ireland businesses have to grandfather their EU registrations into UK REACH?
Lord Callanan (Con)
Under the terms of the Northern Ireland protocol, Northern Ireland will remain aligned with all relevant EU rules relating to the placing on the market of manufactured goods and with the EU REACH system.
