EU-28: Endocrine Disruptors in the EU - Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On September 29, 2014, The European Commission (EC) launched an online public consultation to help define criteria for endocrine disruptors as required by the regulations on biocides and plant protection products. The purpose of the public consultation is to gather the views of stakeholders (including third countries) and the general public on the roadmap published in June 18, 2014, for the impact assessment (IA) of potential options for Endocrine Disruptors’ criteria (EDs). The input received during the consultation will be used as part of the IA to evaluate different policy options and could therefore have a significant impact in the decision-making on the final criteria.
