EU Environment Council on EDCs

EU environment ministers call for urgent action on EDCs; video published on occasion of Environment Council meeting discussing EDC criteria

On March 4, 2016 the European Council published a video on endocrine disruptors. The short film explains endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and why they are of concern. It ends with the statement that “EU Environment Ministers call for urgent action to protect human health and the environment.” The video was released in conjunction with the European Ministers of Environment meeting in Brussels, Belgium, where “the action plan for the circular economy and the follow-up to the Paris agreement on climate change” were discussed, and the scientific criteria for EDCs also formed one of the discussion topics. Several videos from the subsequent press conference are provided by the newsroom of the Council of the European Union.
