The review of EU chemical legislation is at crucial stage. On the 29th October 2003 all 20 European Commissioners will adopt a draft if they can agree on the text. Then it will go to the Parliament and Council of Ministers.
Many NGOs, consumer and civil society groups have joined together to create a common position to prioritise health and environmental concerns. Industry is lobbying hard to weaken the text and we urgently need to generate public pressure for strong legislation!
To become part of the campaign and send an email to one or more Commissioners. Let them know that we want a proposal that protects our health, that gives consumers a right to know about chemicals in products that we buy and that protects wildlife and the environment.
