Turkey: Deadline extension for KKDIK registration now official

Turkey’s environment ministry has amended the KKDIK law and thus set new registration deadlines. The Ministry published the corresponding legal text in the Official Gazette on December 23 (in Turkish).

With the amendment to the law, the Turkish government is granting companies exactly the same deadlines for substance registration that have been on the table for several months.
