This action plan is based on the collaboration between the different competent authorities at federal, regional and regional levels, and with the stakeholders. Several types of actions are currently ongoing: preventive actions, regulatory actions and research-based actions. This first action plan will end in December 2026.

cancel registration, BSOH Seminar

Beste,

Bij deze wens ik mijn aanwezigheid voor de BSOH seminarie Endocrine disruptors op te zeggen, daar ik niet aanwezig kan zijn.
Ik heb het geprobeerd via de online registratie, maar het schijnt niet te lukken.

mvg
