Summary/Abstract: The Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 of the European parliament and the Council [1] known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemicals), adopted at the end of 2006 is in force in the European union member states. Despite the huge size of the Regulation, some of its chapters are not developed in enough detail which creates legal vacuum in the interpretation. This is creating difficulties for the companies based in the EU and outside the EU, but selling their products on the market of the EU using the services of an Only Representative (OR). The present paper studies the problems related to the activities of the OR appointed as per the REACH Regulation and the difficulties that may arise when an OR change is necessary.
