On June 15, 2016, the European Commission presented two draft measures outlining scientific criteria to identify endocrine disruptors (EDs) under the Plant Protection Products Regulation (1107/2009) and Biocidal Products Regulation (528/2012), using the World Health Organization (WHO) definition for EDs as a basis. This means that the ‘hazard-based’ approach of the Pesticides Regulation will be maintained, not taking into account exposure to the substance. The new measures, which will apply immediately for the approval of new substances and re-approval of currently authorized products once adopted, could enter into force as early as the first half of 2017.
