US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA509

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

PER REFTEL, THE GOS SUPPORTS THE PROCEDURES ADOPTED BY THE EU 
REGARDING THE RISK ASSESSMENT OF DECABDE. IT ALSO STATED THAT THE 
NEW REACH SYSTEM WOULD LIKELY REQUIRE A MORE DETAILED APPRAISAL 
OF THE NEUROTOXICITY PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSTANCE. THE GOS FURTHER 
CONFIRMED THAT ANY RELEVANT EU REGULATIONS WOULD BE ADOPTED INTO 
SLOVAK LAW.
