Council of Ministers presses European Commission to take more action on PFASs, EDCs

摘要

The EU Council of Ministers has called on the European Commission to take further action on specific chemicals such as endocrine disruptors and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) under the bloc’s new chemicals strategy. Although the Commission’s strategy is non-legislative and does not require the Council’s approval, member states will largely be responsible for the enforcement of new regulatory measures stemming from it.
