The European Commission has launched an online consultation to help define criteria for endocrine disruptors as required by the regulations on biocidal and plant protection products. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with hormone systems, which may lead to harmful effects on health and the environment. Input is sought from stakeholders and the pubic on various options for the criteria and for their implementation.
All citizens and organisations are invited to contribute to the consultation which will be open until 16 January 2015. Replies to the public consultation will, subject to confidentiality rules, be published following the closure of the consultation.
The press release can be found at: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-1057_en.htm?locale=en
For further information on endocrine disruptors, or more generally on the registration of plant protection products, biocides or general chemicals, contact JSC on +44 (0)1423 520245, enquiries@jsci.co.uk.
