The European Commission proposed more detailed regulation of hormone-damaging chemicals in pesticides

reports that the Endocrine Society supported Professor Andreas Kortenkamp, “a human toxicologist who has authored past endocrine studies for the European commission,” who expressed: “The WHO definition is not a criteria, it is just a definition. In effect, the commission has decided to place the burden of deciding how to regulate endocrine-disrupting chemicals onto the assessors on a case-by-case basis.” Thus, “you will probably have total variance in how high the bar is set in order to declare something an endocrine-disrupting chemical, with all the regulatory consequences that has in terms of a lack of consistency,” he added. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/16/new-rules-to-regulate-europes-hormone-disrupting-chemicals?CMP=twt_a-environment_b-gdneco
