In a CARACAL meeting, the European Commission has introduced the latest update of the ‘Rolling List of (groups of) substances for restriction’, which is part of the Restrictions Roadmap. HEAL has provided feedback to the updated rolling list and note concerns on the repeated delays in the implementation of restrictions of groups of substances that have been included in the Roadmap for several years.
On June 22, the European Commission is expected to publish two crucial legislative proposals to implement the EU Green Deal. The “Nature Protection Package” includes the EU Nature Restoration Law and the revision of the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Directive (the Pesticides Reduction Regulation).
A week ahead of the planned publication of the EU Nature Protection Package, and with rumours of a second delay persisting, HEAL has joined 24 European civil society groups to call on the Commission to publish the two Regulations on the planned date and introduce ambitious and binding targets.
