      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/39/EC
   of 26 June 2007
   amending Annex II to Council Directive 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for diazinon
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The rapporteur Member State informed the Commission that it might be necessary to revise the MRLs for diazinon in Directive 90/642/EEC in the light of concerns about consumer intake. Proposals for the review of Community MRLs were submitted to the Commission.

               (2)

               Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number Codex MRLs for diazinon. The Community MRLs based on Codex MRLs have also been evaluated by the rapporteur Member State in the light of the new information on the risk for the consumers.

               (3)

               The lifetime and short-term exposure of consumers to diazinon via food products has been reassessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (2). On that basis, it is appropriate to fix new MRLs, which will ensure that there is no unacceptable consumer exposure.

               (4)

               Where relevant, the acute exposure of consumers to diazinon via each of the food products that may contain residues has been assessed and evaluated in accordance with Community procedures and practices, taking account of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation. It is concluded that the presence of pesticide residues at or below the new MRLs will not cause acute toxic effects.

               (5)

               It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer.

               (6)

               Through the World Trade Organisation, the Community’s trading partners have been consulted about the new MRLs and their comments on these levels have been taken into account.

               (7)

               Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/39/EC
   of 6 March 2008
   amending Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Directive 2002/72/EC (2) is a specific Directive within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and harmonises the rules on the authorisation of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

               (2)

               Directive 2002/72/EC establishes lists of authorised substances for the manufacture of these materials and articles, in particular additives and monomers, restrictions on their use, as well as rules on labelling and on the information to be given to consumers or food business operators for the correct use of these materials and articles.

               (3)

               The current list of additives contained in Directive 2002/72/EC is an incomplete list inasmuch as it does not contain all substances currently accepted in one or more Member States.

               (4)

               According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2002/72/EC as it stands, the list of additives is considered to be an incomplete list until the Commission decides, in accordance with Article 4a, that it becomes a positive Community list of authorised additives.

               (5)

               For those additives which are currently permitted in the Member States, the time limit for the submission of data for their safety evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter the Authority) with a view to their inclusion in the Community list expired on 31 December 2006. Therefore the date when the Community list of additives becomes a positive list can now be set. Taking into account the time the Authority will need to evaluate all valid applications submitted on time this date should be January 2010.

               (6)

               It is also appropriate to clarify the role of the provisional list referred to in Article 4a (4) and (5) of Directive 2002/72/EC as it stands and how it will be updated. The provisional list contains those additives for which the necessary data were supplied on time and in accordance with the Authority’s requirements, but where no decision on their inclusion in the positive list has yet been taken.

               (7)

               This provisional list provides information to the public on the additives that are under evaluation in view of their possible inclusion in the Community list of additives. As it is impossible to know if the evaluations for all the additives included in the provisional list will be completed by the date when the list of additives becomes a positive list, it should be possible to continue to use those additives, in accordance with national law, until their evaluation is completed and a decision is taken on their inclusion in the positive list of additives.

               (8)

               When an additive included in the provisional list is inserted in the Community list of additives or when it is decided not to include it in the Community list, that additive should be removed from the provisional list of additives.

               (9)

               If, during the examination of the data on an additive included in the provisional list, the Authority calls for supplementary information, that additive should be maintained in the provisional list until a decision is taken in relation to it, provided that the information is submitted within the time limits specified by the Authority.

               (10)

               On the basis of new information related to the risk assessment of monomers and additives evaluated by the Authority (3), certain additives admitted at national level as well as new monomers and additives should be included in the respective Community lists of authorised substances. For other substances, the restrictions and/or specifications already established at Community level should be amended on the basis of this new information. Therefore, Annexes II, III, IVa, V and VI of Directive 2002/72/EC should be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               Commission Directive 2005/79/EC (4) introduced in the list of additives the additive Ref. No 30340 with the name 12-(Acetoxy)stearic acid, 2,3-bis(acetoxy)propyl ester and CAS number 330198-91-9. The name and CAS number introduced in that Directive reflect only the main component of the application. However the opinion delivered by the Authority covers the mixture of substances referred to in the application and not only its main component. The mixture of substances is now registered in the CAS register under CAS number 736150-63-3 with the name Glycerides, castor-oil mono-, hydrogenated, acetates. For this reason it is now appropriate to change the name and CAS number to update the authorisation to all substances in the mixture. Taking into account the change of name a new Ref. No 55910 is assigned. As the substance is now covered by Ref. No 55910, Ref. No 30340 should be deleted.

               (12)

               As a consequence, Directive 2002/72/EC should be updated to take account of new information related to the risk assessment of substances evaluated by the Authority, to establish the date when the list of additives becomes a positive list and to clarify the role of the provisional list of additives.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1

                           (b)

                           Paragraph 6 is added:
                           ‘6.   An additive shall be removed from the provisional list:

                                       (a)

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE  of 3 December 1991  adapting to technical progress Annex I to 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 (asbestos)  (91/659/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to 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 (1), as last amended by Directive 91/339/EEC (2), and in particular Article 2a thereof, introduced by Directive 89/678/EEC (3),  Whereas the use of asbestos and even products containing it can, by releasing fibres, cause asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer; whereas placing on the market and use should therefore be subject to the severest possible restrictions;  Whereas Council Directive 83/478/EEC (4) amending for the fifth time Directive 76/769/EEC specified that the crocidolite type of asbestos fibre and products containing it may, with three possible exceptions, no longer be placed on the market and used;  whereas this same Directive established obligatory labelling provisions for all products containing asbestos fibres;  Whereas Council Directive 85/610/EEC (5) amending for the seventh time Directive 76/769/EEC specified that asbestos fibres can no longer be placed on the market and used in toys, materials and preparations applied by spraying, retail products in powder  form, smoking accessories, catalytic heaters, paints and varnishes;  Whereas improved monitoring of the marketing and use of dangerous asbestos fibres is necessary to protect human heath, especially as there are for certain uses substitute products regarded, on the basis of risk analysis, as less dangerous;  Whereas a very effective way of protecting human health and the environment is to prohibit the use of certain fibres, such as those of amphibole asbestos, which according to some scientific sources are particularly dangerous; whereas for practical  reasons such a prohibition can not for the time being be extended to naturally-occuring materials such as ores and sand containing asbestos fibres as natural impurities;  Whereas a fibre fixity test to assess the dangers posed by particular asbestos-containing products is not yet widely available; whereas, notwithstanding this, products should be promoted which reduce the overall risk to man and the environment;  Whereas Council Directive 91/382/EEC (6) amends Directive 83/477/EEC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to asbestos at work (second individual Directive within the meaning of Article 8 of Directive 80/1107/EEC);  Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Adaption to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in Dangerous Substances and Preparations,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby adapted to technical progress as set out in the Annex hereto.  Article 2  1. Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1993 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. They shall apply these provisions as from 1 July 1993.  When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.  2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission no later than 18 months after the date of its adoption the text of the basic provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
