Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,

Whereas both pentachlorophenol (CAS No 87-86-5) and its compounds are substances that are 
dangerous to man and the environment, and in particular the aquatic environment; whereas the

marketing of the abovementioned substances or of preparations containing those substances

necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and, consequently, to 
amend Annex I to Council Directive 76/769/EEC ('), as last amended by Directive ;
