The report assesses the economic costs along the supply chain of the testing and registration phase of the new chemicals policy. The analysis includes an assessment of the impact on the prices of the chemical and of the products that successively use the chemical along the supply chain and how these changes in prices affect downstream producers and final users, and an assessment of the impact on availability of product varieties (product withdrawals) and how these withdrawals affect downstream producers and final users.
