The European Commission’s consultation on the definition of nanomaterials

MIO-ECSDE jointly with 45 other NGOs from Europe, USA, South America and Asia submitted their recommendations in response to the European Commission’s consultation on the definition of nanomaterials. In order to ensure that nanomaterials are adequately defined and regulated in the EU, NGOs are calling on the European Commission to rapidly adopt a ’cautious and broad’ definition. NGOs welcomed specific elements in the EC’s draft recommendation on the definition of the term ‘nanomaterial’, but warned against any attempt to narrow the scope of the definition as it would exclude several materials for which there are already serious health and environmental concerns.
