H First annual forum on endocrine disruptors : Exchanging knowledge, identifying challenges, building synergies. Brussels, 8 November 2019, forum report.
CAMARSA Gabriella, NOTTINGHAM Stephen
2019 40 p. In November 2018, the EC published a Communication entitled ‘Towards a comprehensive European Union framework on endocrine disruptors’. This launched a Fitness Check, led by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), that is taking a cross-cutting look at endocrine disruptors. It is assessing whether relevant EU legislation is delivering its objectives, and identifying gaps and synergies between different legal instruments across sectors. Furthermore, the Communication called for an annual forum on endocrine disruptors. The first forum meeting was held in Brussels on 8 November 2019. It brought together more than 150 experts, including policymakers, regulators, scientists, and representatives from Member States, public and private stakeholders, and organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The aim was to exchange knowledge and best practices, and to identify challenges and build synergies. The outcomes of the annual forums will feed into the Commission’s policy framework on endocrine disruptors. This is the report of the first Annual Forum on Endocrine Disruptors. Report
