HEAL together with representatives from the medical, scientific, and civil society sectors, is calling on policymakers in Poland to develop a national action plan to reduce the health impacts of harmful chemicals and to support the revision of EU regulations. The appeal was presented on 10 June in Warsaw during the International Conference Preventing Disease by Reducing Exposure to Harmful Chemicals, held under the patronage of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Polish Minister of Health, and the President of the Polish Supreme Medical Council.
HEAL has sent a letter to the European Parliament’s Public Health Committee (SANT) ahead of the European Commission’s presentation on its new Preparedness Union Strategy — “Reinforcing Europe’s resilience in a changing world” to the committee.
The letter highlights that reducing exposure to pollution has to be a critical component of an EU preparedness strategy.
HEAL therefore looks to MEPs to raise the importance of prioritising health as a core component of Europe’s new Preparedness Union Strategy.
