HEAL welcomes the call from 250 scientists urging the European Commission to follow scientific recommendations and include provisions to account for the effects of chemical mixtures to better protect health in the upcoming revision of REACH, the EU’s regulation for chemicals.
On 26/27 June, EU Heads of State will be exchanging on EU defence, competitiveness, and preparedness matters as part of the European Council.
HEAL urges them to strengthen health protection and disease prevention as part of EU preparedness and financing priorities, by
- Placing health protection at the centre of EU climate efforts
- Strengthening legislative efforts to reduce chemicals pollution
- Stepping up investments in better health, not pollution
