Dangerous substances: carcinogens, mutagens or toxic to reproduction, c/m/r (23rd amend. Directive 76/769/EEC)

The committee adopted the report by Giuseppe NISTICO' (EPP-ED, I) tabling one amendment to the Council's common position under the second reading of the codecision procedure. The amendment partially reinstated the two amendments adopted by Parliament at first reading which were not taken up by the Council. It therefore repeated Parliament's call for the Commission to: (1) extend the ban on CMR-classified substances of Category 1 or 2 and preparations to products placed on the market for use by the general public; and (2) submit a proposal to prohibit the use of such substances in products for use by the general public. �
