The undersigned organisations urge the REACH committee to advocate for accelerating the implementation of the restriction agenda, which is crucial for the timely phase-out of the most harmful chemicals within the EU and support the progressive industry.
HEAL is among a number of organisations who have written to the new Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen to offer our help and expertise in shaping policies to support a transition to fair, healthy, and sustainable food and farming systems.
This year’s historic consensus following the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Agriculture is a major turning point and a golden opportunity for the fresh EU mandate to correct the serious flaws in today’s food systems. With a breakthrough report where stakeholders agreed that “business-as-usual is not an option”, Commissioner Hansen has a mandate to deliver the ambitious transformations that Europe’s citizens so urgently need.
As part of the EU Food Policy Coalition we stand ready to support the Commissioner in his new role, and help bring about a sustainable, competitive, resilient and fair future for food and farming. To protect the health of Europeans, HEAL is especially calling for the full implementation of the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Directive.
