The EEB submitted comments to the public consultation with proposals for amendments aiming to improve protection of health and the environment, including promoting the use of group approaches, prioritising classification & labelling of endocrine disruptors and persistent chemicals and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the harmonised classification & labelling process.
