Still no EU agreement to reduce dependency on biocides

摘要

EU biocide legislation is currently being revised. However, a coalition of environmental and health NGOs coordinated by PAN Germany have branded the proposed revisions as 'weak and inadequate to protect people or the environment from potentially toxic biocides'. They are calling on the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers to introduce requirements to promote non-chemical alternatives to biocides and to substitute toxic biocides with non- or less toxic products.
