The European Commission is the executive arm of the European Union, responsible for proposing EU legislation, enforcing EU law, managing common programs and the budget, and representing the EU in international negotiations, particularly on trade and regulatory matters.
For the chemical industry, the Commission shapes the regulatory and policy framework that governs the EU market. It develops and implements chemicals legislation such as REACH and CLP (in cooperation with the European Chemicals Agency), advances the EU Green Deal and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, and sets climate, energy, and circular-economy policies that affect production costs and market access (including the EU Emissions Trading System and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism). Through competition and state aid control, it oversees mergers, antitrust cases, and public support schemes impacting chemical producers. It also steers industrial policy and transition pathways for energy-intensive sectors, uses trade and customs instruments to address unfair practices, and mobilizes funding for innovation, decarbonisation, and strategic value chain resilience across the European chemical ecosystem.
