The consultation seeks views on possible actions to address the risks from pharmaceuticals in the environment and to obtain views and information to support the development of the Commission’s strategic approach to pharmaceuticals in the environment. At EU level, the issue of pharmaceuticals in the environment is only partially addressed in legislation and policy. Practices are further influenced by many other factors, which could be acted upon to leverage more sustainable and prudent management and use of pharmaceuticals, in line with the circular economy.
