Does the EU now have two health Commissioners? What will this mean?

Interesting discussions at even of European Human #Exposome Network today. Sometimes the science is clear but there is a tension with what society wants (smoke ban, alcohol consumption, ...). "And there is the Minister of Finance ..."

⚠️@EFSA_EU has confirmed that the widely-used PFAS pesticide flufenacet is an endocrine disruptor and a threat to human health.
We urge the @EU_Commission and EU member states to follow the science and protect EU citizens with an immediate ban.
