Press note: While the Draghi report is concerned about the economic implications from transitioning away from PFAS in Europe, this approach is fundamentally flawed given the health costs and severe health and environmental consequences associated with these substances.
On 17 April 2018, HEAL sent a letter to the Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz ahead of Austria’s upcoming presidency of the Council of the European Union from July 2018 on. We encouraged this member state to show leadership to advance on a safe environment that benefits people’s health and an adequate allocation of resources to climate and environment measures.
On 2 May 2018, we received the response from the Director General for Coordination, responsible for EU matters and the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
