In June 2017, Saori Dubourg, then Vice President of Cefic, spoke at an event marking the 10th anniversary of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). She described the REACH regulation as "much more than a regulatory framework," stating that it had "established a joint language within Europe" and that exchange was at its core, making it "a currency of trust." Dubourg said that "trust and stability are the foundations for collaborations and common achievements," particularly in a context where "existing partnerships are challenged and states are troubled by movements towards protectionism." Dubourg outlined three principles she said Europe could learn from REACH: setting a course through a demanding but pragmatic approach, finding practicable compromises across stakeholders, and taking proactive responsibility for protecting the environment and human health. She noted that Cefic had provided tailored trainings on chemical handling in places such as the port of Mombasa and Tamar, and she expressed the view that REACH could serve as a "global role model" for improving protection of human health and the environment.
