Exhibit 49: Two Regimes
Chemical safety regimes compared, the United States against Europe: who carries the burden of proof, whether pre-market testing is required, how many substances were grandfathered, and how many have been tested since.
Four rows comparing chemical safety law in the United States and in Europe. Burden of proof: on the agency in the United States, on industry in Europe. Pre-market testing: not required in the United States, required in Europe. Substances grandfathered in: sixty-two thousand in the United States, none in Europe. Substances assessed: roughly two hundred in the United States, about a third of one percent of those grandfathered, against every registered substance in Europe.
