In the upcoming EU mandate 2024-2029 it is of utmost importance to address the harm that endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose on the health of humans and wildlife. The EDC-Free Europe Coalition held a high-level briefing for Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on 6 November 2024, presenting policy recommendations to address the health challenges posed by EDCs.
The event, co-hosted by MEP Martin Hojsik from the Renew Group, featured speakers including MEP Alessandra Moretti from the S&D Group, Génon Jensen, Executive Director of the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), and Professor Majorie van Duursen from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The discussion centered on how and why European policies should address EDCs. During the event the EDC-Free Europe coalition shared their new recommendations: ‘7 priorities to protect people and environment from harm caused by endocrine-disrupting chemicals’.
