Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 68(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Entry 23 of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 prohibits the use of cadmium and cadmium compounds in paints with codes [3208] [3209], with a derogation for zinc-based paints. However, this restriction does not apply to the placing on the market of paints containing cadmium. |

On 9 September 2014, the Agency's Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) adopted by consensus an opinion concluding that such modification of the existing entry would facilitate enforcement and confirming that no additional assessment of the risks presented by cadmium in paints is necessary.
