Europe's Highly Concerned List Of Candidates Increased By 1/3

Highly concerned substances

Nevertheless, increasing the number of substances in the list to nearly 1/3 remains an important measure of the European Chemicals authority.

The list included 8 carcinogenic, mutagenic and hazardous reproductive substances including boric acid, trichloroethylene, two sodium borate, four sodium borate, seven sodium chromate, potassium chromate, ammonium dichromate and potassium dichromate.

France's "Figaro" reported that according to the French Fashion Institute's preliminary estimate, in June this year, French clothing sales fell 13% compared with June last year.

The weather is not getting warmer and the economy is in great difficulties. With the discount this year starting in July, these are the reasons for the sharp drop in sales.

This year, British sheep producers will receive "apparently increased" wool checks from the British wool marketing Bureau (BWMB), reflecting the high demand for wool, leading to price rise to the highest level in nearly 10 years.

Ian Hartley Hartley, chief executive of BWMB, said that the increase in auction prices over the past 12 months will benefit our wool producers. This phenomenon reflects the improvement in British wool demand, while wool production has declined, and output in 2009 has dropped to 28 million 600 thousand kilograms, compared with 31 million 200 thousand kg in the previous year.

In 2000, the sheared production was 45 million 800 thousand kg, indicating that the output in the last 10 years decreased significantly.

He said that the average price of wool producers in 2009 was 48 pounds / kg, including the average payment of 36 pounds per kilogram to producers.

According to the recent auction price at BWMB headquarters in Bradford, there are indications that the price will increase considerably next year, and sheep farmers will benefit greatly in 2011.

But Mr. Hartley said: "although we believe that the new price and the very high price will remain unchanged in 2010, the high price is expected to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. BWMB will maintain the prepayment of sheep farmers at about the same level in 2010. History tells us that we will not be able to control the sudden crisis, and that sudden crises may lead to price fluctuations."
