On 28th May, the European Chamber's Petrochemicals, Chemicals and Refining Working Group sent comments to the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) on General Rules for the Storage of Hazardous Chemicals (Draft for Comments).

The Working Group noted room for improvement, including clarification on changes of regulations from the 1995 version.

The Working Group made several suggestions, including but not limited to: exemptions for small packaged consumer products; strengthening the emergency mechanism with the community by involving local emergency management and fire departments; eliminating strict anti-static clothing requirements; and more consistency with terms and English translations.
