Abstract

The article provides an overview of the current activities of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management Forum and an analysis of the statements made by the leaders of ministries and international organizations at the Berlin Forum. On the basis of the voiced priorities, development trends in the field of regulation of the circulation of chemicals are identified. At the same time, the analysis showed that a number of statements contain potential risks and threats to the interests of the domestic industry (new coordinated tax). Proposals for proactive measures are presented.
