Testing of endocrine disrupting pesticides

Question for written answer E-000027/2020
to the Commission
Rule 138
Martin Hojsík (Renew)

A recently published report entitled ‘Identification of Endocrine Disrupting Pesticides: Trapped in a Vicious Circle’ [1] revealed that, in 31 out of 33 cases in which pesticide active substances with endocrine disrupting properties were approved for use within the EU, no relevant tests to assess these properties were requested from industry. Internationally agreed testing methods developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have been available since 2012. Due to the incompleteness of these studies, endocrine disrupting pesticides are not always identified in the EU and policies preventing exposure to endocrine disruptors are blocked.
