Harmonisation of information for poison centres : stakeholder workshop report

In order to fulfil its obligations under Article 45(4) of the CLP Regulation, the Commission organised two small expert meetings in 2010 involving representatives from poison centres in the Member States during which a number of specific proposals as well as questions were formulated with the recommendation to discuss them in a larger forum. This larger forum was convened in the form of a workshop on 24 November 2010. At the workshop, nearly 80 representatives from the European Association of Poison Centres and Clinical Toxicologists (EAPCCT), national poison centres, various Commission services, competent authorities in the Member States, industry, industry associations and other stakeholders were present. This brochure contains summaries of the presentations made at the workshop as well as the conclusions drawn and solutions proposed.
