MEPs slam EU enviro/health plan

摘要

The European Parliament's Environment Committee has called on the European Commission to strengthen its proposals for an integrated environment and health strategy to curb the effects of pollution.In 2003,the Commission announced plans to develop an approach that takes more account of the interactions between combinations of various pollutants,including pesticides,and the environment and human health (Agrow No 433,p 6).The Commission's focus is on gathering information on causal links,but the Committee wants early action to ban certain substances,including some organophosphate insecticides.
