A Special Interest Case Study: The Chemical Industry, The Bush Administration, and European Efforts to Regulate Chemicals

House Committee on Government Reform
; 
Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform investigated the Bush Administration's response to the European Union's chemical regulation initiative known as REACH. The documents obtained reveal that, influenced by the U.S. chemical industry, the administration actively campaigned against the EU's efforts. The report states the chemical industry's lobbying efforts led to revisions in the REACH proposal, highlighting how industry interests can shape foreign policy decisions to the detriment of environmental initiatives.
