Nina Cromnier new Director-General of the Swedish Chemicals Agency
Today, the Government appointed Nina Cromnier as Director-General of the Swedish Chemicals Agency. Ms Cromnier will take up her post on 1 September.
"I am very pleased that Nina Cromnier is going to be the new Director-General of the Swedish Chemicals Agency. She has long experience of working in the chemicals area - nationally, at EU level, and globally - and is therefore an excellent choice to lead the Chemicals Agency into the future. The global negotiations on a mercury agreement have recently begun and intense work is under way in the EU to reduce the risks involved in chemical use," says Minister for the Environment Andreas Carlgren.
Ms Cromnier has a Master of Science in Chemical Technology and a Master of Economics, and is currently Director and Head of the Division for Eco-Management Strategies and Chemicals at the Ministry of the Environment. Ms Cromnier has worked at the Ministry of the Environment since 1995. Before this, she worked at the Swedish Waste Research Council and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
