Marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (14th amend. Directive 76/769/EEC)

A compromise was found following negotiations with the Commission. The first compromise involved two new recitals providing for the procedure referred to in Article 189b of the Treaty (re-referral) to be used if the annex to the directive containing new carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic substances was to be revised or updated. The second required the Commission to declare to the plenary assembly that if Annex 1 to the directive was to be amended to include new substances in the list of carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic substances, the Commission would undertake to submit proposals in accordance with Article 189b of the Treaty. �
