What is the annual budget of ECHA? Where do the funds come from?
The agency’s budget for 2008 is about €66 million. Over the next 15 years, the annual budget is expected to be, on average, €90 million. It will be largely financed from the fees paid by industry, such as when registering chemicals or applying for authorisations. The remaining balance will be covered by the EU budget as approved by the European Parliament and European Council of Ministers.
