"Mr President, the Commission was right to launch an impact assessment into the different options for definitions of endocrine—disrupting chemicals. We now need to ensure that the final definition is proportionate and based on the science.
Not all substances that have an effect on the endocrine system are endocrine disruptors. For example, many plant-based foods such as caffeine in coffee interact with the hormonal system without leading to disruption or harm. Endocrine active substances should be treated like most other substances of potential concern and be subject to risk assessment in which both the hazard and the exposure are considered.
Rising world demand for food means that Europe’s farmers are going to have to produce significantly more in the years ahead. With over 850 million people in the world who do not have enough to eat Europe, with its favourable soils and climate, surely has a moral obligation to optimise agricultural output. But this cannot be realised if our farmers do not have access to an adequate range of crop protection products."@en1
