We believe that the access to information should be improved for unclassified substances, as well as substances present at small concentrations.   We are calling on the EU Commission to perform a systemic impact assessment to evaluate how the various initiatives can contribute to the transparency and traceability vision.  2 https://www.askreach.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AskREACH Traceability-WS report 2023-01.pdf
