Some dangerous chemicals could be banned from the European market, and about 30,000 substances used in everyday products ranging from detergents to toys will have to be registered in a central European Union database under a new law. The European Parliament passed the law, one of the most complex and far-reaching commission regulations ever, after years of haggling marked by intense lobbying by the European chemicals industry and by protests from environmentalists who sought more restraints on the industry. The law, a compromise balancing health and environmental concerns against fears that excessive red tape would stifle business, puts the burden of proof on companies to show that industrial chemicals and substances used in everyday products are safe. It is likely to take effect in mid-2007.
