>stream users and nearly all products manufactured and/or distributed 
>in the EU.

>Consulting, will be presenting information about REACH and taking 
>questions from teleconference participants.

>public affairs and lobbying advice in an EU law firm, and 
>subsequently in a global law firm, where he focused exclusively on 
>EU environment law and policy.
>
>Who needs to register for REACH? What steps are involved in 
>registration? How will fees be assessed? What is the timeline for 
>implementation? These are just a few of the questions to be answered 
>during the teleconference.
