How Do Member States Vote on Chemical Substances

 

The data experts at EU Matrix kindly crunched the numbers of votes in the REACH Member State Committee.

They looked at Authorisation votes.

The numbers are useful to look at.

The bottom block – Sweden, France, Belgium, and Germany – vote against proposals because they think the proposals is too lenient.

Whatever authorisation proposal the Commission puts forward is going to get a QMV.

If you are going into a vote – ordinary or secondary legislation – I’d recommend using EU Matrix to see where Member States and MEPs really stand.
