REACH

The European Union's chemical regulation called REACH, "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals", is one of the most complex and detailed pieces of legislation ever brought into force in the EU. LRI provides a complete list of services related to REACH, which includes (1) complete "Only Representative" services, (2) ad hoc research and consulting services, and (3) project management services. From inventory review for pre-registration to facilitation at SIEF (Substance Information Exchange Forum) and subsequent report preparation, LRI can provide you with all the services required as an Only Representative relevant to REACH compliance.

Research

 

At LRI, we provide more than just Only Representative services. Using our full range of expertise and experience in chemical regulatory law, LRI can conduct research in many areas related to chemical regulation at country, international, and particularly European levels, e.g., EU Waste Directive and EU Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS). Similarly, leveraging our extensive network of researchers around the world, LRI is able to offer research services to cover almost any country. Using our tried and tested research methodology, we are also able to conduct comparative research of legislation in a range of countries. For example, we recently undertook a research project comparing legislation on safety data sheets in EU, UK, France, Italy and Germany. 

 

Project Management

 

LRI can provide project management services beyond those required as an Only Representative, e.g., coordination with upstream companies in the client's supply chain. We can also provide project management services to clients, for whom we are not an "Only Representative", which may include trouble shooting, but also management of their professional services, and so on. We include the third party representative services for EU companies in our project management services. We regard the REACH processes not only as a technical exercise but also as a task for which strong project management skills are vital.

RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY INCENTIVES IN THE OECD, CHINA AND INDIA, 2011/2012: Investment and Operating Support Programmes
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY INCENTIVES IN THE OECD, CHINA AND INDIA, 2011/2012: Investment and Operating Support Programmes

This comprehensive report details the incentives and benefits available for renewable power development in 31 OECD countries, China and India. The study provides a clear country-to-country comparison of national incentive programs, emissions targets, and support for renewable electricity production.

 

Both the urgent need to cut GHG emissions and the contribution that renewable energy can make towards energy security is being increasingly acknowledged in developed countries. Despite current unstable macroeconomic conditions, investment in the deployment of renewable electricity remains strong. However, the persistently high cost of deployment is such that government incentives continue to be required. A major challenge for renewable power developers lies in identifying which of these incentive schemes offer good value for money and the predictability needed to justify significant commitments of capital. Combining key electricity market statistics with an analysis of operating and investment incentives for each country, the report provides concise but comprehensive information regarding the climate for renewable power investment in 31 OECD countries, China and India.
CARBON REDUCTION COMMITMENTS AND MEASURES IN THE OECD, CHINA AND INDIA, 2011/2012
CARBON REDUCTION COMMITMENTS AND MEASURES IN THE OECD, CHINA AND INDIA, 2011/2012

This study is an authoritative source for quick and easy comparison of existing carbon reduction commitments, regulations and incentives in 31 OECD countries, China and India. The report concludes with a concise summary of which countries are ahead or behind in terms of carbon reduction efforts.

 

All major countries acknowledge the urgent need to cut carbon emissions and shift to a low-carbon economy. Accordingly, they have carbon reduction commitments, although the degree of commitment significantly differs between countries. To observe those commitments, governments have been adopting various measures, both regulations and incentives. However, the precise effectiveness of those measures is largely not yet understood and thus uncertainty prevails among policy makers and the public as to whether emissions targets can be achieved or not. For businesses, challenges lie not only in trying to reduce their emissions but also in identifying potential impacts of current and future regulations on their businesses and maximising potential benefits deriving from incentive schemes.
