Abstract
The editors of this volume, both of whom are regulatory toxicologists and also contributing authors, were colleagues for some years on the two ends of the EU Commission's Scientific Committee for the Toxicity and Ecotoxicity of Chemical Compounds. It was then a shared responsibility of DG V (Health and Safety) and DG XI (Environment) but is now managed, in the name of greater transparency and accountability, along with seven other Scientific Committees whose area of responsibility is of immediate interest to the consumer, by DG XXIV (Consumer Affairs). On all fronts there was and is frequent need to advise on some of the problems created by the implementation of Chemical Safety Law and, from time to time, to contribute to the design of new or revised measures.
