Your article (US lobbying led to EU shelving curb on dangerous pesticides, 23 May) implies the American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) has attempted to either shelve or delay EU regulation on endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This could not be further from the truth. AmCham EU, a non-governmental industry body representing American business, has been participating in all EU stakeholder engagement on EDCs from its inception, and has been transparent in both its positioning (positions are published on its website) and outreach. We fully support and look forward to participating in the EU commission’s forthcoming science-based impact assessment process which will determine the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of proposed criteria for EDCs.
