Work Programme 2016

The third year of implementing ECHA’s five-year strategy, described in the Multi-Annual Work Programme (MAWP) 2014-2018, involves further pursuit of the four strategic objectives with a strong focus on further improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency. Complementing these four strategic objectives specific actions supporting the SMEs are introduced as a fifth element.

1. Maximise the availability of high quality information to enable the safe manufacture and use of chemicals
2. Mobilise authorities to use information intelligently to identify and address chemicals of concern
3. Address the scientific challenges by serving as a hub for building scientific and regulatory capacity of Member States, European institutions and other actors
4. Embrace current and new legislative tasks efficiently and effectively, while adapting to upcoming resource constraints

5. Provide specific support to SMEs
