Council Directive 82/828/EEC of 3 December 1982 amending, for the third time (PCT), Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations

Official Journal L 042 , 15/02/2003 P. 0045 - 0046

Directive 2003/11/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilof 6 February 2003amending for the 24th time Council Directive 76/769/EEC relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (pentabromodiphenyl ether, octabromodiphenyl ether)THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,Having regard to the proposals from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3), in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 8 November 2002,Whereas:(1) Under Article 14 of the Treaty, an area without internal frontiers is to be established, in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured.(2) The risks to the environment of pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE) and octabromo-diphenyl ether (octaBDE) have been assessed under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances(4). The risk assessments on pentaBDE and octaBDE identified a need for reducing risks from these substances to the environment. In its opinions of 4 February 2000 and 31 October 2002, the Scientific Committee on toxicity, ecotoxicity and the environment (CSTEE) confirmed the conclusions of these assessments of pentaBDE and octaBDE on the need to reduce risks to protect the environment. Furthermore, the CSTEE confirmed, in its opinion of 19 June 2000, the concern about exposure of breast-fed children to pentaBDE and that the increasing levels of pentaBDE in breast milk might be the result of a use not yet identified.(3) The Commission has adopted Recommendations in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 on a risk reduction strategy for pentaBDE(5) and octaBDE(6) providing for restrictions on marketing and use to control risks to the environment. They also recommended that any measures should take account of the concerns about infants exposed via milk.(4) In order to protect health and the environment the placing on the market and the use of pentaBDE and octaBDE and the placing on the market of articles containing one or both of these substances should be prohibited.(5) The presence of pentaBDE or octaBDE in concentrations higher than 0,1 % can be identified using standard analytical techniques such as GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry).(6) The risk assessment on decaBDE was concluded in August 2002 and has revealed a number of uncertainties concerning possible effects on the environment of this substance. Risk reduction measures should be taken by the Community without delay and a risk reduction strategy has therefore to be established immediately. The Commission expects the results of the risk reduction strategy not later than 30 June 2003. It should then immediately assess these results and propose appropriate and strict measures to address risks identified. The European Parliament and the Council should consider this proposal without delay. Restrictions approved by the Community on the marketing and use of decaBDE are to enter into force without further delay, unless the further testing provided for in the above risk assessment resolves the current uncertainties by concluding that decaBDE gives no cause for concern.(7) This Directive does not affect Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers contained in Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(7), and in individual directives based thereon, in particular Council Directive 90/394/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens at work (Sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)(8) and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on protection of health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (14th individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)(9),HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.Article 2Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 15 February 2004.

Article 2 Member States may not refuse: - EEC type-approval or national type-approval for a vehicle, or refuse or prohibit the sale,  registration, entry into service or use of a vehicle on grounds relating to its optional equipment  with mechanical coupling devices, - EEC component type-approval or national component type-approval for a mechanical coupling, or  prohibit the sale or use of a mechanical coupling device, if the requirements of the Annexes are satisfied. Article 3 Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative  provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within 18 months of the date of its adoption.  They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall  be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The method of  making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States. They shall apply these provisions 18 months following the date of adoption of this Directive.

   of 28 October 2009
   amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC concerning cosmetic products for the purposes of adapting Annex III thereto to technical progress
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
   After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products, replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (2), concluded in its ‘Memorandum on hair dye substances and their skin sensitising properties’ published on 29 March 2007 that contact allergies caused by hair dye products are an increasingly important health problem for consumers and society, often causing acute and severe dermatitis to individuals. A person sensitised to a hair dye substance used in hair dye products may eventually develop skin allergy to that substance.

               (2)

               In order to better inform the consumer about the possible adverse effects of hair colouring and to lower the risk of sensitisation to hair dye products among consumers, additional warnings should be printed on the label of oxidative hair dye products and of certain non-oxidative hair dye products containing extreme and strong sensitising substances. Therefore, the obligatory conditions of use and warnings laid down for respective hair dye substances in column ‘f’ of Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC should be amended.

               (3)

               Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
   Article 2
   1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 1 May 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
   When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
   2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
   Article 3
   Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that after 1 November 2011 no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are placed on the market by Community manufacturers or by importers established within the Community.
   Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that after 1 November 2012 no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are sold or disposed of to the final consumer in the Community.
   Article 4
   This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   Article 5
   This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
