Summary diagram: Assessment of pesticides for endocrine disrupting properties by PAN Europe. The Commission is considering different options to define endocrine
disrupting chemicals (EDs) for regulatory purposes (provided in the Roadmap). The Regulation requires the ban of pesticides with endocrine disrupting properties that may
cause adverse effects. PAN Europe has carried out an assessment of pesticides for endocrine disrupting properties based on the regulation requirements (PPPR 1107/2009)
and compared it to the assessment of using the criteria proposed by the Commission in the different options of the Roadmap. The full analysis is provided in Annexes 1&2.
