EU Council Delays Vote on Legislation.

The article focuses on the decision of the British government to postpone its vote in the European Council on the proposed registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals (REACH) legislation of the European Union on November 11, 2005. The legislation would require importers and manufacturers to provide detailed safety information and to register chemicals in a central database. The European Parliament's vote on REACH could also be rescheduled because of the need to examine amendments to the vote.
