      DIRECTIVE 2005/69/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

   of 16 November 2005
   amending for the 27th time Council 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 (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in extender oils and tyres)
   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 proposal from the Commission,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
   Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Tyres are produced by using extender oils that may contain various levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are not added intentionally. During the production process PAHs can be incorporated into the rubber matrix. Therefore, they can be present in various amounts in the final product.

               (2)

               Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) can be a qualitative and quantitative marker for the presence of PAHs. BaP and other PAHs have been classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction. In addition, due to the presence of these PAHs, several extender oils as such have been classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction.

               (3)

               The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (CSTEE) has confirmed the scientific findings which identify the adverse health effects of PAHs.

               (4)

               The emission of BaP and other PAHs into the environment should be reduced as much as possible. In order to provide a high level of protection to human health and the environment and to contribute to the reduction of total annual emissions of PAHs as required in the 1998 Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution on Persistent Organic Pollutants, it therefore appears necessary to restrict the placing on the market and the use of PAH-rich extender oils and blends used as extender oils for the production of tyres.

               (5)

               Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 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 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               Without prejudice to the requirements of other European provisions, this Directive covers passenger car tyres (4), light and heavy truck tyres (5), agricultural tyres (6) and motorcycle tyres (7).

               (7)

               In order to meet the necessary safety requirements and in particular to ensure that tyres have a high degree of wet grip performance, a transitory period is necessary during which tyre producers will develop and test new types of tyres produced without high aromatic extender oils. According to the information at present available, the development and testing work will take a considerable amount of time, as producers will have to perform numerous series of test runs before the necessary high level of wet grip performance of the new tyres can be guaranteed. Therefore, this Directive should be applied to economic operators from 1 January 2010.

               (8)

               The adoption of harmonised test methods is necessary for the application of this Directive as regards the content of PAHs in extender oils and tyres. The adoption of such test methods should not delay the entry into force of this Directive. The test method should preferably be developed at European or international level, where appropriate by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) or by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). The Commission may publish references to the relevant CEN or ISO standards or establish such methods in accordance with Article 2a of Directive 76/769/EEC, where necessary.

               (9)

               This Directive does not affect the Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, such as 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 (8), and individual directives based thereon, in particular Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work (sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Council Directive 89/391/EEC) (9) and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the 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) (10).

               (10)

               It is not the purpose of this Directive to restrict the placing on the market, as defined in Article 2(1)(e) of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (11), of tyres produced before 1 January 2010 and which can thus be sold off from stocks subsequent to this date. The date of production of tyres can be easily recognised by the existing mandatory marking of the ‘date of manufacture’ on the tyre as stipulated in Directive 92/23/EEC. All tyres retreaded after 1 January 2010 should be retreaded with new tread containing new PAH-low extender oils,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

                                             more than 1 mg/kg BaP, or

                                             —

                                             more than 10 mg/kg of the sum of all listed PAHs.

                                       These limits are regarded as kept, if the polycyclic aromatics (PCA) extract is less than 3 % by mass, as measured by the Institute of Petroleum standard IP346: 1998 (Determination of PCA in unused lubricating base oils and asphaltene free petroleum fractions — Dimethyl sulphoxide extraction refractive index method), provided that compliance with the limit values of BaP and of the listed PAHs, as well as the correlation of the measured values with the PCA extract, is controlled by the manufacturer or importer every six months or after each major operational change, whichever is earlier.

		Council Directiveof 16 October 1978on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to head restraints of seats of motor vehicles(78/932/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission [1],Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament [2],Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee [3],Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy pursuant to national laws relate inter alia to head restraints;Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements, either in addition to or in place of their existing rules in order, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure, which was the subject of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers [4], as last amended by Directive 78/547/EEC [5], to be introduced in respect of each type of vehicle;Whereas the common requirements for the interior parts of the passenger compartment, the layout of the controls, the roof and backrest and rear part of the seats were laid down in Directive 74/60/EEC [6]; whereas those for the internal fittings relating to the protection of the driver from the steering mechanism in the event of an impact were laid down in Directive 74/297/EEC [7]; whereas those relating to the strength of the seats and their anchorages were laid down in Directive 74/408/EEC [8]; whereas those relating to anchorages for safety belts were laid down in Directive 76/115/EEC [9]; whereas those relating to safety belts and restraint systems were laid down in Directive 77/541/EEC [10];Whereas a harmonized component type-approval procedure for head restraints makes it possible for each Member State to check compliance with the common construction and testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of its findings by sending a copy of the component type-approval certificate completed for each type of head restraint; whereas the placing of an EEC component type-approval mark on all head restraints manufactured in conformity with the approved type obviates any need for technical checks on these head restraints in the other Member States;Whereas the approximation of national laws relating to motor vehicles entails mutual recognition by the Member States of checks carried out by each of them on the basis of the common requirements,HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 11. Each Member State shall grant EEC component type-approval for any type of head restraint whether integrated or not in the seats of motor vehicles, which satisfies the construction and testing requirements laid down in Annexes I to V.2. The Member State which has granted EEC component type-approval for the head restraints shall take the measures required in order to verify that production models conform to the approved type, in so far as this is necessary and if need be in cooperation with the competent authorities in the other Member States. Such verification shall be limited to spot checks.Article 2Member States shall, for each type of head restraint which they approve pursuant to Article 1, issue, to the manufacturer, or to his authorized representative, an EEC component type-approval mark conforming to the model shown in Annex VI.Member States shall take all appropriate measures to prevent the use of marks liable to create confusion between head restraints which have been type-approved pursuant to Article 1 and other devices.Article 31. No Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of head restraints on grounds relating to their construction or method of functioning if they bear the EEC component type-approval mark.2. Nevertheless, a Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of head restraints bearing the EEC component type-approval mark which consistently fail to conform to the approved type.That State shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission of the measures taken, specifying the reasons for its decision.Article 4The competent authorities of each Member State shall within one month send to the competent authorities of the other Member States a copy of the component type-approval certificates and extension certificates completed for each type of head restraint which they approve or refuse to approve.Article 51. If the Member State which has granted EEC component type-approval finds that a number of head restraints bearing the same component type-approval mark do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that State shall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken, which may extend to withdrawal of EEC component type-approval. The said authorities shall take the same measures if they are informed by the competent authorities of another Member State of such failure to conform.2. The competent authorities of the Member States shall within one month inform each other of any withdrawal of EEC component type-approval, and of the reasons for such a measure.Article 6Any decision taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive, to refuse or withdraw component type-approval for a head restraint or prohibit its placing on the market or use shall set out in detail the reasons on which it is based. Such decision shall be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member States and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.Article 7No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to its head restraints, if these bear the EEC component type-approval mark and are intended for installation in the type of vehicle submitted for type-approval.Article 8No Member State may refuse or prohibit the sale, registration, entry into service or use of any vehicle on grounds relating to its head restraints, if these bear the EEC component type-approval mark and are intended for installation in the type of vehicle submitted for type-approval.Article 9For the purposes of this Directive, "vehicle" means any Category M1 motor vehicle (as defined in Annex I to Directive 70/156/EEC) intended for use on the road, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h.Article 10Any amendments necessary to adapt the requirements of the Annexes to technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC.Article 111. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.Article 12This Directive is addressed to the Member States.Done at Luxembourg, 16 October 1978.For the CouncilThe PresidentK. von Dohnanyi[1] OJ No C 82, 14. 4. 1975, p. 74.[2] OJ No C 76, 7. 4. 1975, p. 37.[3] OJ No C 263, 17. 11. 1975, p. 57.[4] OJ No L 42, 23. 2. 1970, p. 1.[5] OJ No L 168, 26. 6. 1978, p. 39.[6] OJ No L 38, 11. 2. 1974, p. 4.[7] OJ No L 165, 20. 6. 1974, p. 16.[8] OJ No L 221, 12. 8. 1974, p. 1.[9] OJ No L 24, 30. 1. 1976, p. 6.[10] OJ No L 220, 29. 8. 1977, p. 95.--------------------------------------------------LIST OF ANNEXESANNEX I: | Scope, definitions, application for EEC component type-approval, general specifications, tests and conformity of production [1] |ANNEX II: | Procedure for determining the "H" point and the actual seat back angle and for verifying the relative positions of the R and H points and the relationship between the design seat back angle and the actual seat back angle |ANNEX III: | Determination of height and width of head restraints [1] |ANNEX IV: | Details of the lines drawn and measurements taken during test [1] |ANNEX V: | Test procedure for checking energy dissipation [1] |ANNEX VI: | EEC component type-approval mark |ANNEX VII: | EEC component type-approval certificate |[1] The technical requirements of this Annex are similar to those of Regulation No 25 of the Economic Commission for Europe (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505 rev. 1/add. 24); the breakdown into sections is thus the same.

The devices submitted for component type-approval must:4.1.1. be clearly and indelibly marked with the trade name or mark of the applicant;4.1.2. provide adequate space on the lateral face for the component type-approval mark: this space must be shown in the drawings referred to in 3.2.4.4.2. Where the head restraint forms an integral part of the seat, the markings referred to in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 must be placed on the part of the seat which is used as a head restraint.(5.) 6. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS6.1. The presence of the head restraint in a vehicle must not be an additional cause of danger to occupants of the vehicle. In particular it must not in any position of use exhibit any dangerous roughness or sharp edge liable to increase the risk or seriousness of injury to the occupants. Parts of the head restraint which are situated in the impact zone defined below must be capable of dissipating energy in the manner specified in Annex V to this Directive:6.1.1. the impact zone must be bounded laterally by two vertical longitudinal planes, one on each side of and each 70 mm distant from the plane of symmetry of the seat concerned;6.1.2. the impact zone must be limited in height to the part of the head restraint situated above the plane perpendicular to the reference line r and 635 mm distant from the R point.6.2. Parts of the front and rear faces of the head restraint which are situated outward of the said vertical longitudinal planes must be so padded as to prevent any direct contact of the head with the structural components, which should in those areas have a radius of curvature of not less than 5 mm.6.3. The head restraint must be anchored to the seat in such a way that no rigid and dangerous part projects from the padding of the head restraint, from the anchorage or from the seatback as a result of the pressure exerted by the head during the test.6.4. The height of the head restraint, measured as described in 7.2, must not be less than 700 mm above the seating reference point R.6.5. The height of the device on which the head rests, measured as described in 7.2, must, in the case of a head restraint adjustable for height, not be less than 100 mm.6.6. There must be no gap of more than 50 mm between the seatback and the head restraint in the case of a device not adjustable for height. If the head restraint is adjustable for height, it must, when in the low position, be no more than 25 mm from the top of the seatback.6.7. The width of the head restraint must be such as to provide suitable support for the head of a person normally seated. In the plane of measurement of width defined in 7.3, the head restraint shall cover an area extending not less than 85 mm to each side of the plane of symmetry of the seat for which the head restraint is intended, that distance being measured in accordance with 7.3.6.8. The head restraint and its anchorage must be such that the maximum backward displacement of the head permitted by the head restraint and measured in conformity with the static procedure laid down in 7.4 is less than 102 mm.6.9. The head restraint and its anchorage must be strong enough to bear without failure the load specified in 7.4.3.7.7. TESTS7.1. Verification of the R point of the seat in which the head restraint is to be incorporatedThis point is verified in accordance with the requirements of Annex II.7.2. Determination of the height of the head restraint7.2.1. All lines must be drawn in the plane of symmetry of the seat concerned, the intersection of which plane with the seat determines the contour of the head restraint and of the seatback (see Annex III, Figure 1).7.2.2. The manikin corresponding to an average adult male or the manikin referred to in Section 3 of Annex III to Directive 77/649/EEC must be placed in a normal position on the seat. The seatback, if inclinable, is locked in a position corresponding to a rearward inclination of the reference line of the manikin's torso of as nearly as possible 25° from the vertical.7.2.3. The projection of the reference line of the manikin referred to in Section 3 of Annex III to Directive 77/649/EEC is then, in the case of the seat concerned, drawn in the plane specified in 7.2.1. The tangent S to the top of the head restraint is drawn perpendicular to the reference line.7.2.4. The distance h from the R point to the tangent S is the height to be taken into consideration in implementing the requirement of 6.4.7.3. Determination of the width of the head restraint(see Annex III, Figure 2).7.3.1. The plane S1 perpendicular to the reference line and situated 65 mm below the tangent S defined in 7.2.3 defines a section in the head restraint bounded by the outline C. The direction of the straight lines tangential to C representing the intersection of the plane S1 and the vertical planes (P and P′), parallel to the plane of symmetry of the seat concerned, are drawn in the plane S1.7.3.2. The width of the head restraint to be taken into consideration in implementing the requirements of 6.7 is the distance L separating the projections of planes P and P′ in plane S1.7.3.3. The width of the head restraint must if necessary also be determined 635 mm above the seating reference point, this distance being measured along the reference line.7.4. Determination of the effectiveness of the device7.4.1. The effectiveness of the head restraint is to be checked by the static test described below.7.4.2. Preparation for the test7.4.2.1. If the head restraint is not an integral part of the seat, it must be set in the highest position.7.4.3. Testing7.4.3.1. All lines must be drawn in the vertical plane of symmetry of the seat concerned (see Annex IV).7.4.3.2. A projection of the reference line r is drawn in the plane referred to in 7.4.3.1.7.4.3.3. The displaced reference line r1 is determined by applying to the part simulating the back in the manikin referred to in Annex III to Directive 77/649/EEC, an initial force producing a rearward moment of 37·3 mdaN about the R point.7.4.3.4. By means of a spherical head 165 mm in diameter an initial force producing a moment of 37·3 mdaN about the R point is applied at right angles to the displaced reference line r1 at a distance of 65 mm below the top of the head restraint.7.4.3.5. The tangent Y to the spherical head, parallel to the displaced reference line r1, is determined.7.4.3.6. The distance X between the tangent Y and the displaced reference line r1 is measured. The requirement of 6.8 is deemed to be met if the distance X is less than 102 mm.7.4.3.7. The initial load specified in 7.4.3.4 is increased to 89 daN unless breakage of the seat or the seatback occurs earlier.8. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION(8.1.) (8.2.) (8.3.) 8.4. Head restraints selected for verification of conformity with an approved type must at least undergo the test described in Section 7.(9.) 10. INSTRUCTIONSWith each model conforming to an approved type of head restraint, the manufacturer shall supply particulars of the types and characteristics of the seats for which the head restraint is approved and, where appropriate, the directions to the user of the head restraint on how to fit it correctly to the seats concerned.[1] OJ No L 267, 19. 10. 1977, p. 1.--------------------------------------------------ANNEX IIPROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE "H" POINT AND THE ACTUAL SEATBACK ANGLE AND FOR VERIFYING THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE R AND H POINTS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DESIGN SEATBACK ANGLE AND THE ACTUAL SEATBACK ANGLEAnnex III to Directive 77/649/EEC shall be applicable.--------------------------------------------------ANNEX IIIDETERMINATION OF HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF HEAD RESTRAINT+++++ TIFF ++++++++++ TIFF +++++--------------------------------------------------ANNEX IVDETAILS OF LINES DRAWN AND MEASUREMENTS TAKEN DURING TEST+++++ TIFF +++++--------------------------------------------------ANNEX VTEST PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING ENERGY DISSIPATION1. SETTING UP, TEST APPARATUS, RECORDING INSTRUMENTS AND PROCEDURE1.1. Setting upThe head restraint must be fitted and tested on the seat of the vehicle for which it is intended. The seat must be firmly secured to the test bench so that it does not move under impact.1.2. Test apparatus1.2.1. This apparatus consists of a pendulum whose pivot is supported by ball-bearings and whose reduced mass [1] at its centre of percussion is 6·8 kg. The lower extremity of the pendulum consists of a rigid headform 165 mm in diameter whose centre is identical with the centre of percussion of the pendulum.1.2.2. The headform is fitted with two accelerometers and a speed-measuring device, all capable of measuring values in the direction of impact.1.3. Recording instrumentsThe recording instruments used must be such that measurements can be made with the following degrees of accuracy:1.3.1. Acceleration:- accuracy: ± 5 % of the real value,- frequency response: up to 1000 Hz- cross-axis sensitivity: < 5 % of the lowest point on the scale.1.3.2. Speed:- accuracy: ± 2·5 % of the real value,- sensitivity: 0·5 km/h.1.3.3. Time recording:- the instrumentation must enable the action to be recorded throughout its duration and readings to be made within one thousandth of a second,- the beginning of the impact at the moment of first contact between the headform and the head restraint being tested is noted on the recordings used for analyzing the test.1.4. Test procedure1.4.1. The surface to be tested must be so placed that the pendulum will strike the surface perpendicular to the point concerned.1.4.2. The headform must strike the test item at a speed of 24·1 km/h this speed is achieved either by the mere energy of propulsion or by using an additional propelling device.2. RESULTSIn tests carried out by the above procedure, the deceleration of the headform must not exceed 80 g continuously for more than three milliseconds. The deceleration rate is taken as the average of the readings on the two decelerometers.3. EQUIVALENT PROCEDURES3.1. Equivalent test procedures are permitted on condition that the results required in Section 2 can be obtained.3.2. Responsibility for demonstrating the equivalence of a method other than that described in Section 1 rests with the person using such a method.[1] The relationship of the reduced mass "mr" of the pendulum to the total mass "m" of the pendulum at a distance "a" between the centre of percussion and the axis of rotation and at a distance "l" between the centre of gravity and the axis of rotation is given by the formula: mr = m la·--------------------------------------------------ANNEX VIEEC COMPONENT TYPE-APPROVAL MARK1. GENERAL1.1. The EEC component type-approval mark consists of:1.1.1. a rectangle surrounding the lower-case letter "e" followed by the distinguishing number or letters of the Member State which has granted the EEC component type-approval:1  for Germany,2  for France,3  for Italy,4  for the Netherlands,6  for Belgium11  for the United Kingdom,12  for Luxembourg,18  for Denmark,IRL  for Ireland;1.1.2. it must also include the EEC component type-approval number which corresponds to the number of the EEC component type-approval certificate issued for the type of head restraint in question; this number is placed in any convenient position near the rectangle;1.1.3. where the head restraint is an integral part of the seatback, the EEC component type-approval number is preceded by the letter "I" and a dash:1.2.

*****COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE  of 22 March 1988  amending, as regards the investment policies of certain UCITS, Directive 85/611/EEC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS)  (88/220/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third sentence of Article 57 (2) thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas Article 22 (1) and (2) of Directive 85/611/EEC (4) limits the investment of UCITS assets in transferable securities from the same issuer to 5 %, a limit which may, if required, be increased to 10 %;  Whereas that limit poses special problems for UCITS established in Denmark in cases where they wish to invest an appreciable proportion of their assets on the domestic bond market, since that market is dominated by mortgage credit bonds and the number of institutions issuing such bonds is very small;  Whereas those mortgage credit bonds are subject in Denmark to special rules and supervision designed to protect holders and are treated under Danish legislation as equivalent to bonds issued or guaranteed by the State;  Whereas Article 22 (3) of Directive 85/611/EEC derogates from paragraphs 1 and 2 of that Article in the case of bonds issued or guaranteed by a Member State and authorizes UCITS to invest in particular up to 35 % of their assets in such bonds;  Whereas a similar derogation, but of a more limited extent is justified with regard to private sector bonds which, even in the absence of a State guarantee, nevertheless offer special guarantees to the investor under the specific rules applicable thereto; whereas it is necessary therefore to extend such a derogation to the totality of such bonds which fulfil jointly fixed criteria, while leaving it to the Member States to draw up the list of bonds to which they intend, where appropriate, to grant a derogation, and providing for a procedure for informing the other Member States identical to that provided for in Article 20 of Directive 85/611/EEC,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  In Article 22 of Directive 85/611/EEC, the following paragraphs shall be added:  '4. Member States may raise the limit laid down in paragraph 1 to a maximum of 25 % in the case of certain bonds when these are issued by a credit institution which has its registered office in a Member State and is subject by law to special public supervision designed to protect bond-holders. In particular, sums deriving from the issue of these bonds  must be invested in conformity with the law in assets which, during the whole period of validity of the bonds, are capable of covering claims attaching to the bonds and which, in the event of failure of the issuer, would be used on a priority basis for the reimbursement of the principal and payment of the accrued interest.  When a UCITS invests more than 5 % of its assets in the bonds referred to in the first subparagraph and issued by one issuer, the total value of these investments may not exceed 80 % of the value of the asserts of the UCITS.  As laid down in Article 20 (1), Member States shall send the Commission a list of the aforementioned categories of bonds together with the categories of issuers authorized, in accordance with the laws and supervisory arrangements mentioned in the first subparagraph, to issue bonds complying with the criteria set out above. A notice specifying the status of the guarantees offered shall be attached to these lists. The procedure laid down in Article 20 (2) shall apply.  5. The transferable securities referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not be taken into account for the purpose of applying the limit of 40 % referred to in paragraph 2.  The limits provided for in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 may not be combined, and thus investments in transferable securities issued by the same body carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall under no circumstances exceed in total 35 % of the assets of an UCITS.'  Article 2  The Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive by the same dates as those provided for in Directive 85/611/EEC. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  Article 3  This Directive is addressed to the Member States.  Done at Brussels, 22 March 1988.  For the Council  The President  M.

Article 2 1. As from 1 July 1979 at the latest, the level of erucic acid of the products referred to in Article 1, calculated on the total level of fatty acids in the fat component, may not be greater than 5 %.  2. In any event, as from 1 July 1977, Member States shall fix a level of erucic acid not exceeding 10 %.   Article 3 The sampling procedures and methods of analysis necessary to establish the level of erucic acid of the products referred to in Article 1 shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 5.   Article 4 1. Where a Member State, as a result of new information or of a re-assessment of existing information made since the Directive was adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that the maximum levels of erucic acid laid down in Article 2 endanger human health although they comply with the provisions of this Directive, that Member State may temporarily suspend or restrict application of the provisions in question in its territory. It shall immediately inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof and give reasons for its decision.  2. The Commission shall examine as soon as possible the grounds given by the Member State concerned and consult the Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs, and shall then deliver its opinion forthwith and take the appropriate measures.  3.
