MEPs: EC should take action on hormone-disrupting chemicals

30 June 2016

European Commission delays in publishing the scientific criteria needed to identify and reduce exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals were condemned by Parliament in a resolution. The text, on “endocrine disruptors”, points out that the Commission’s persistent failure to publish the criteria, which were due by the end of 2013, also breaches EU law.
MEPs note that proposed scientific criteria were ready in 2013, but remained unpublished as the Commission decided to launch an impact assessment instead. However, they also take note of the Commission’s political pledge to propose the criteria before the summer (Press Release European Parliament, 8 June 2016).
