Dear Minister/Representative,
We write you in order to call attention to a potential threat to European citizens’ health and safety resulting from the proposal of the European Commission to include vinclozolin and procymidone in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC. The proposal is going to be presented in the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Safety (Pharmaceutical Section), 14 and 15 July, despite strong evidence of harmful effects to the environment and human health and scientific evidence of endocrine disrupting properties of these two substances especially the non-repairable damage done at young age.
