"Mr President, Mr Lund, what we have here is an extremely complicated procedure. At the same time, it is important for the EU to participate in an international context. This is clearly a cross-border problem. It is important for us to remain within the framework of the OECD’s activities and to try to develop these methods. I do not believe that there is anyone who wants to delay this work. On the contrary, we all feel a need to press on and ensure that we as quickly as possible obtain test methods and systems for working with these hormone-disturbing substances. We can only promise that we shall do everything we can to ensure that the work produces good results.
What we are now discussing in connection with the new chemicals legislation is the fact that, as long as we lack clear definitions and clear test methods, together with agreed systems for using these, we must act on a case-by-case basis. The fact that, in the discussions we have had so far, specific mention has been made of the group of endocrine-disrupting substances is a factor pointing in the direction of future clarity. The next stage is just to work as quickly as we can to come up with agreed methods of dealing with such substances."@en1
