A growing number of officials in the European Commission's health unit are complaining that health and food safety legislation is being delayed due to slow decision-making from Frans Timmermans, the Commission's First Vice-President in charge of Better Regulation.
The Commission has delayed publication of a number of reports related to health and consumer issues or food safety lately, sparking internal and public criticism.
Some of the postponed reports include an evaluation on whether the EU should include alcohol labelling under its food and nutrition labelling rules, meat origin labelling, a definition of endocrine disruptors, and a report on the benefits of regulating trans fatty acids in foods at EU level.
