On Tuesday, February 28, the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) again failed to reach a qualified majority on the proposal on endocrine disruptor (ED) criteria. The European Commission took an indicative vote but chose not to move to a formal vote when it was clear that there was again no qualified majority. Eleven countries voted in favor of the criteria, while eight voted against and eight abstained. At this time, the Commission has given no indication on the proposal's next steps
