"The Endocrine Society welcomes the opportunity to comment on the proposal to amend Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP). As the world’s leading experts on the subject of chemical interference with endocrine systems, we support provisions in the amended regulation that would allow EU regulators to more effectively minimize exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and thereby reduce the incidence of chronic diseases associated with EDC exposure such as cancer, diabetes, neurodevelopmental disease and infertility."
