Carcinogens or mutagens at work: Council and European Parliament reach agreement

30-Jun-2017
On 28 June 2017 the Maltese Presidency and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on a new directive intended to help protect workers from exposure to carcinogens or mutagens in the workplace.
"With this agreement, we can better protect millions of EU workers from cancer-causing chemical substances in the work place. This is particularly important given that cancer is the first cause of work-related deaths in the EU."​ 
Ms Helena Dalli, Maltese Minister for European Affairs and Equality
