The European Environmental Bureau’s Secretary General wrote a letter appealing to the European Commission to accept the French authorities (ANSES) proposal to restrict a group of extremely hazardous substances in baby diapers throughout the EU under the REACH Regulation. The letter has been co-signed by several other civil society organisations.
