On 3 April 2023, a broad coalition of endocrine patient representatives and experience experts for over 400,000,000 European and international patients called on EU legislators to publish the revised REACH proposal without any further delay and no later than June 2023.
Citing the urgent and immediate need to minimise exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in the interest of public health, the patients insist that flaws in the REACH regulation must be addressed without delay. EDCs are not a compromise area, and extending the current legislation is required to fulfil the mentioned objectives.
The petition was launched by the Patient Advocacy Group of European Society of Endocrinology (EPAG) and signed until now by 8 international patient associations representing about 300 national patient organisations across the world and more than 40 national endocrine patient (informing) organisations. Together they represent the European and international endocrine patient community. The petition has been submitted to the European Commission.
