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

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Giuseppe NISTICO (EPP-ED, Italy) which slightly amends the Council's common position. A clause is added to one of the recitals, stating that the Commission should submit a proposal to prohibit the use of products containing c/m/r substances, when there is scientific evidence that they are released from these products leading to exposure of the general public.�
