Ahead of a European Parliament exchange on the European Commission work programme 2027, HEAL has written to MEPs.
HEAL is concerned that the simplification proposals in the area of environment which have been put forward to date ignore the health and economic costs of pollution and will result in a weakening of key protection provisions, especially when it comes to chemicals and pesticides pollution. We consider that for decreasing overall costs and strengthening the EU’s resilience in the climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution crisis, the urgent issue at stake for the EU’s environmental and climate regulatory framework is not “simplification” but rather better implementation and enforcement, enabled by adequate investment in the next EU budget.
