HEAL has given input to a consultation on priorities for the next EU long-term budget 2028-2034. The EU budget sets the framework for public spending on EU policies: Now is the time to set the EU on the path for ambitious investments into protection Europeans’ health against climate and environmental threats, especially pollution.
On 16 May 2025 the European Commission hosted a ‘Reality Check Workshop’ on “the possible simplification” of the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation). This initiative was presented within the broader context of the Commission’s stated objective “to lighten the regulatory burden for people, businesses and administrations in the EU to boost prosperity and resilience of the EU” and the announced upcoming omnibus package for the chemical sector.
The Health and Environment Alliance alongside the NGOs Chemsec, ClientEarth, Ecologistas en Acción and the European Environmental Bureau have provided analysis and recommendations as a response to the European Commission’s call for written input.
