In April 2017 the Commission of European Affairs of the French Senate organized a hearing on endocrine disruptors (EDs). The Commission said that France and the European Union (EU) should increase research to identify EDs and develop substitutes. In May 2017, Emmanuel Macron was elected President of France, and his position on the issue is similar to that of the previous administration although he noted during the campaign the importance of having clear information before instituting a ban on products without substitutes.
