HEAL and the European Environmental Bureau sent a joint letter to permanent representatives and ambassadors to the European Union with regards to the trilogue negotiations about the reform of the EU regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of chemicals (CLP), calling for promotion of protective hazard identification and labelling processes of chemicals.
Seventeen NGOs, including HEAL, wrote a joint letter to the to the European Commission to alert them to recent findings indicating a failure in the current framework for nano labelling.

The letter also suggests measures for increased knowledge, transparency, and vigilance on nanomaterials.
