In a debate on the upcoming EU chemicals strategy for sustainability on Thursday, MEPs are expected to demand better protection of our health and the environment.
MEPs are expected to call for a new strategy that effectively ensures that health and the environment are well protected, minimising exposure to hazardous chemicals.
In a draft oral question to the Commission, MEPs ask the Commission which measures it intends to propose and how it will improve the functioning of REACH to close loopholes in EU legislation.
In the draft resolution to be put to the vote on Friday, MEPs push for further regulatory measures to adequately protect vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly.
