Fifth publication of Elincs

(according to Article 21 of Directive 67/548/EEC)

(2000/C 72/01)

(Text with EEA relevance)

In accordance with Commission Decision 85/71/EEC of 21 December 1984(1) the list of chemical substances notified pursuant to Council Directive 67/548/EEC(2) (hereinafter "the Directive") on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Elincs) has been established and appears in this Official Journal of the European Communities.

This list replaces the previous list(3) and consists of all the chemical substances notified up to 30 June 1995 in accordance with Article 7 of the Directive.

This list supplements the European inventory of existing commercial chemical substances (Einecs) published on 15 June 1990(4), which lists all substances placed on the market up to 18 September 1981. Apart from the exceptions provided for in Articles 1 and 13 of the Directive, all substances placed on the Community market or, in the case of a new substance, notified no later than 30 June 1995, including those which are components of preparations, appear in either Einecs or Elincs.

Apart from the abovementioned exceptions, substances placed on the market which do not appear in either Einecs or Elincs must have been notified or must be notified in accordance with the Directive, and will be included in an update of Elincs.

The presence of a substance in Elincs nevertheless does not dispense any new importer and/or new manufacturer placing it on the Community market from notifying it in accordance with the Directive. However, if the substance has already been notified, the competent authority may accept that the new notifier refer, as far as the technical dossier is concerned, to the results of studies carried out by a previous notifier or notifiers, with his or their written agreement, in particular to avoid as far as possible the repetition of tests using vertebrate animals.

In accordance with Decision 85/71/EEC, the classification of these substances is included in Elincs only if it has been officially adopted at Community level and therefore appears in Annex I to the Directive. The other dangerous substances on the list, provisionally classified by the notifier, are in the process of being officially classified, and the official classification will be included in an update of Elincs.

Opinion of the Advisory Committee on Concentrations given at the 67th meeting on 9 September 1999 concerning a preliminary draft decision relating to Case IV/M.1524 - Airtours/First Choice

(2000/C 105/03)

1. The Committee agrees with the Commission that Airtours' acquisition of First Choice constitutes a concentration without the meaning of Article 31(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.

2. A majority of the Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant product markets are

- tour operating of short-haul foreign package holidays,

- travel agency services and

- charter airlines seats for short-haul destinations.

A minority of the Committee disagrees with the Commission.

3. The Committee agrees with the Commission that the relevant geographic markets for each of the relevant product markets are, respectively, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

4. The Committee agrees with the Commission that in Ireland the concentration will not lead to the creation of a single or collective dominant position on any of the affected markets.

5. The Committee agrees with the Commission that in the United Kingdom the concentration will not lead to the creation or reinforcement of a dominant position by a single firm.

6. A majority of the Commitee agrees with the Commission that in the United Kingdom the concentration will lead to a situation of collective dominance in tour operating of short-haul foreign package holidays. A minority of the Committee abstains.

7. A majority of the Commitee agrees with the Commission on the basis of the draft decision and the oral explanation of the Commission services given during the meeting that the concentration should be declared incompatible with the common market. A minority of the Committee abstains.

8. A majority of the Commitee agrees with the Commission that the undertakings proposed by the parties do not eliminate the competition concerns raised by the Commission. A minority of the Committee reserves its position on this on the basis that insufficient time has been given for considering the information provided.

9. The Committee recommends the Commission to take account of all the matters raised in the discussion.

10. The Committee agrees with the publication of the opinion.

Reference numbers for the notification of the export of certain dangerous chemicals

(The following is published so as to comply with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92(1))

(2001/C 27/12)

(Text with EEA relevance)

This Regulation introduced a notification procedure for the export of chemicals which are banned or severely restricted in the European Community. This requires that the first export of such a chemical, or a preparation containing it, to a particular country shall not occur until 30 days after a notification, that each notification be given a reference number, and that that number accompany subsequent exports of the same chemical from the Community to the same third country.

Current reference numbers

Article 4 of the Regulation specifies that the Commission shall periodically publish a list of these reference numbers in the Official Journal of the European Communities, stating the chemical concerned and the third country of destination.

Below is the list of current reference numbers for the banned or severely restricted chemicals that have been exported by 31 December 2000.

Throughout the legislative process the Committee pays particular attention to compliance of EU legislative proposals with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, taking into account provisions in force and changes envisaged. For this purpose, the Committee will make use of its Subsidiarity Monitoring Network and share the results of these consultations with the Commission. The Commission and the Committee will work together to strengthen the partnership principle through multi-level governance in those Union policies for which the consultation of the Committee is mandatory. The Commission and the Committee share information regarding subsidiarity monitoring on a regular basis, in particular as regards the relevant opinions of national and regional Parliaments. If, during a legislative procedure, the Committee raises substantial concerns regarding the respect of the principle of subsidiarity, it will immediately inform the co-legislators. The Committee's work shall evolve as part of a collaborative effort with the Commission to create a culture of subsidiarity. The Commission and the Committee agree that decisions should be taken at the closest level to the citizen by the most appropriate means and where they can most effectively achieve their objective. The Commission and the Committee agree to identify the priorities calling for a specific monitoring of subsidiarity and proportionality. The Commission services may ask for support from the Committee in preparing its impact assessments. The Committee's platforms and networks may provide a good access point to regional and local authorities and could therefore enable the Commission to reinforce the analysis of regional and local aspects in impact assessments if deemed necessary. The Committee will summarise its activities in this field in an annual report transmitted to the Commission.
