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(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),

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 European Parliament and the Council adopted on 29 March 1996 Decision No 646/96/EC adopting an action plan to combat cancer within the framework for action in the field of public health (1996 to 2000)(4).

(3)  To improve health protection and consumer safety, the Commission should extend the ban on substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2 and on preparations to products placed on the market for use by the general public. The Commission should submit a proposal by the end of 2002 to prohibit the use of such substances in products for use by the general public.

(4)  Directive 94/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 1994 amending for the fourteenth time Directive 76/769/EEC(5) establishes, in the form of an Appendix concerning points 29, 30 and 31 of Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC(6), a list containing substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2. Such substances and preparations should not be placed on the market for use by the general public.

(5)  Directive 94/60/EC provides that the Commission will submit to the European Parliament and Council a proposal to extend this list not later than six months after publication of an adaptation to technical progress of Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances(7), which contains substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2.

(6)  Commission Directive 98/98/EC of 15 December 1998 adapting to technical progress for the twenty-fifth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC(8), and more particularly Annex I thereto, to technical progress, contains 20 substances newly classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2, and Commission Directive 2000/32/EC of 19 May 2000 adapting to technical progress for the twenty-sixth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC(9), and more particularly Annex I thereto, to technical progress, contains 2 substances newly classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2. These substances should be added to points 29, 30 and 31 of the Appendix to Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC.

(7)  The risks and advantages of the substances newly classified, by Directives 98/98/EC and 2000/32/EC, as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction of category 1 or 2 have been taken into account.

(8)  This Directive applies without prejudice to 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(10), and 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(11).
