Today’s publication of the European Commission’s chemicals omnibus confirms serious concerns: if pushed through the proposal will significantly weaken protections in the Cosmetic Products Regulation, allowing the prolonged use of carcinogens and other harmful chemicals in personal care products.
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
