Chemicals agency flooded with last-minute registrations

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Monday is a busy day at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) headquarters in Helsinki,
as December 1st is the deadline for chemical manufacturers and importers to register with the EU's chemical programme, 
known as REACH."

And
"The agency's computer system faced a further challenge as it had to fend off an attack by computer hackers.
On Monday an auxiliary data system kicks in to help Finland's first EU agency tackle an unprecedented workload."
