EU Commission postpones EDC criteria vote

30 May 2017 / Europe

The European Commission has again postponed a vote on its latest proposed criteria to identify endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) was expected to discuss, and possibly vote, on the criteria on 30 May.

The proposal continues to cause disagreements among EU member states.

The Commission has not indicated when it will reopen discussions.
