| (7) | For each of the substances included in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 by this Regulation a date from which the placing on the market and the use of the substance shall be prohibited unless an authorisation is granted should be set as required by Article 58(1)(c)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, taking into account the Agency’s capacity to handle applications for authorisation. For each of those substances there are no reasons why the date referred to in Article 58(1)(c)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should be set earlier than 18 months before the date referred to in Article 58(1)(c)(i) of that Regulation. |

For each of the substances included in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 by this Regulation a date from which the placing on the market and the use of the substance shall be prohibited unless an authorisation is granted should be set as required by Article 58(1)(c)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, taking into account the Agency’s capacity to handle applications for authorisation.

| (8) | Article 58(1)(e) in conjunction with Article 58(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 provides for the possibility of exemptions of uses or categories of uses in cases where specific Union legislation imposes minimum requirements relating to the protection of human health or the environment ensuring proper control of the risks. In accordance with the information currently available it is not appropriate to set exemptions based on those provisions. |

Article 58(1)(e) in conjunction with Article 58(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 provides for the possibility of exemptions of uses or categories of uses in cases where specific Union legislation imposes minimum requirements relating to the protection of human health or the environment ensuring proper control of the risks. In accordance with the information currently available it is not appropriate to set exemptions based on those provisions.

| (9) | As there is no information justifying the need for an exemption for product and process orientated research and development, it is not appropriate to consider any such exemption. |
| --- | --- |

(9)

As there is no information justifying the need for an exemption for product and process orientated research and development, it is not appropriate to consider any such exemption.

| (10) | As the available information on the uses of the proposed substances is limited, it is not appropriate to set review periods at this stage, pursuant to Article 58(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. |
| --- | --- |

(10)

As the available information on the uses of the proposed substances is limited, it is not appropriate to set review periods at this stage, pursuant to Article 58(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

| (11) | The substances tetralead trioxide sulphate; pentalead tetraoxide sulphate; orange lead (lead tetroxide) and lead monoxide (lead oxide) meet the criteria for classification as toxic for reproduction (category 1A) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and therefore meet the criteria for inclusion in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 set out in Article 57(c) of that Regulation. They have also been identified and included in the candidate list in accordance with Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and prioritised for inclusion in Annex XIV to that Regulation by the Agency’s recommendation of 10 November 2016 in accordance with Article 58(3) and (4) of that Regulation. The use of lead and its compounds is covered by Council Directive 98/24/EC (5) and to some extent by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and its implementing measures establishing Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions. Furthermore the current Union binding occupational limit value and binding biological limit value for lead compounds under Directive 98/24/EC will be reviewed. Therefore, and in view of possible adoption of more stringent measures at the workplace, it is appropriate to postpone a decision on the inclusion of those substances in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In addition, through implementation of Directive 2010/75/EU and its predecessors, emissions of lead and its compounds to the environment have decreased and continue to decrease as shown by the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) reporting and further reductions are expected as new BAT conclusions are adopted and as permits are updated to reflect them. |

| (12) | All uses of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) are restricted in accordance with Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. NMP has similar intrinsic properties to those of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), and the three substances have similar industrial uses and may be considered as interchangeable, at least for some uses, even if in general they cannot be considered ‘drop-in’ alternatives. In view of the similarities of the three substances in order to ensure a consistent regulatory approach (7), the decision on the inclusion of NMP in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should be postponed, as has been done for DMAC and DMF when the Commission considered the Agency’s recommendations of 17 January 2013 (8) and of 6 February 2014 (9), respectively. |

| (13) | In order to avoid the premature obsolescence of articles or complex products that are no longer produced after the sunset dates referred to in Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, some substances (by themselves or in mixtures) included in that Annex need to be available for the production of spare parts as articles or as complex products for the repair of those articles or complex products, where those articles or complex products cannot function as intended without those spare parts, as well as where some Annex XIV substances (by themselves or in mixtures) are necessary for the repair of such articles or complex products. In order to facilitate application for authorisation for those uses, the existing transitional arrangements should be extended, allowing the adoption of implementing measures for simplified application for authorisations in such cases. In addition, the wording of the notes to the table of Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should be revised in order to ensure consistency of the terminology as regards articles and complex products in the light of the judgement of the Court of Justice in Case C-106/14 (10). |
