Following a request from the European Commission, the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) provided a Final Opinion on electronic cigarettes.

The scientific opinion supports the Commission by assessing the most recent scientific and technical information on breast implants in relation to anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).

The scientific opinion provides scientific support in assessing the risk of the presence of BPA in clothing articles and the potential need for legislative amendments in the chemicals legislation and/or enforcement measures under the General Product Safety Directive.

The presentations and the summary records of the hearing, which took place on 16 November 2020, are now available.
