Recital (52)

To increase the availability and facilitate the use of information on the environmental performance of chemicals throughout their lifecycle, and to enable a comprehensive assessment of the impacts of chemicals on the environment, the Commission should identify relevant data and information related to the environmental sustainability of chemicals, including, where available, information on their impact on climate change, for incorporation into the common data platform. Once the Commission has identified the relevant existing datasets of chemicals data on environmental sustainability-related data and has designed the relevant related database functionalities, the ECHA should establish a database of environmental sustainability-related data, collect any data made available by the Commission, the Agencies and, where relevant, by the researchers and research consortia funded by Union framework programmes, as well as by other parties, if any, and incorporate that database into the common data platform as a dedicated service. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the obligation to identify relevant environmental sustainability datasets, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission.
