AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Strengthens procedures for resolving scientific divergences between agencies, prioritizing protective opinions for vulnerable groups and requiring joint reports if unresolved. Adds provisions for extending deadlines when additional information is requested and for monitoring ECHA resources and governance. Extends changes to other regulations: endocrine disruptors in medical devices and POPs waste reporting and consultation. The other changes are formal: a heading for the final vote is added.
