However, theassociation for paint, printing inks and wallcoverings still has doubtsover the future of chemical regulations in the UK, and concerns of“no deal“ potentially raising its head again.The Prime Minister’s Brexit deal does contain some reassuranceswith its free trade agreement, but allows for regulatory divergence.The coatings industry has major concerns over UK REACH, and thismessage was clear from BCF member survey in September, where90% of members fear having a duplicate set of chemical regulationsin the UK.Concerns around uncertainty due to Brexit in the last few monthshas been reflected in the latest industry statistics, with for exampledecorative paint sales down 2.8% percent over the last threemonths. However, now the future direction of the country is clearer,we hope for a bounce back in the economy, assuming a no dealBrexit is avoided.Tom Bowtell, chief executive of the British Coatings Federation,said: “The Prime Minister’s new deal foresees a free tradeagreement with the EU and removes some of the commitments toregulatory alignment for chemicals that were in the previous TheresaMay deal. For our sector, the new deal from Boris Johnson is farfrom “Oven Ready”, given the complexity of the integratedchemicals supply chain and centralised registration system which wewill be losing. However, the industry will find a way to adapt andcope with whatever new trading environment we are faced with –how much that supports UK manufacturing is another matter, butwe will continue to have a constructive dialogue with civil servantsand new politicians, to ensure the best outcome for our sector.”Top 50 performerAxalta has been recognised as a Top 50 Best Environmental, Social andCorporate Governance (ESG) Company by Investor's Business Daily."We are proud to be recognised for our innovative products andservices; safe and sustainable manufacturing processes; and strongcorporate governance practices," said Robert Bryant, president andCEO of Axalta.
