Paints ,varnishes ,a&hssivcs and'similar .products Are ■•placed -onthe iftvrkot and
used every dayinlarge quantities .Acertain number ofthese products have
drji^crous properties , .Some containing io.-ic orharmful •.whstaheps .,hayo caused
serious illness which 'have resulted in <W.fh incertain 'cases .'
„ •.Other products arecorrosive orirritant orcancause

AllMember States have legislation which isdesigned toremove these dangers
asfaraspossible .Such legislation governs theclassification ,packaging
andlabelling ofthese products .There areconsiderable differences in
national rules .These constitute abarrier totrade anddirectly affect the
establishment andfunctioning ofthecommon market .
1TheCouncil hasalready adopted ,on27June 1Jo7 »ageneral Directive on
theapproximation oflaws ,regulations andadministrative provisions relating
totheclassification ,packaging andlabelling ofdangerous substances ,last

Uith regard topreparations ,the Council adopted ,on4June 1^73 j&directive
relating totheclassification ,packaging and labelling ofsolvents .The
Commission also presented &proposal foraDirective 4relating totheclassi­
fication ,packaging andlabelling ofpesticides tothe Council on31December ,
1S74 .The Commission now considers itappropriate tointroduce similar rules
inrespect ofpaints ,varnishes ,printing inl:s ;adhesives and similar products
insofar asthey contain dangerous substances .
The follovting proposal foraDirective isdesigned toensure the free movement
ofgoods uithin the 3uropea.n Community while improving theprotection ofthe
lifo andhealth ofthe community inparticular ofpersons who must handle such
products inthe course oftheir work .
Such aDirective u-ascalled forboth inthe Council Resolution of23iiiy 1>6>
drawing upaprogramme forthe elimination oftechnical barriers totrado and
inthe Council Resolution of17December !>73onindustrial policy ;itisalso
/mentioned mthe Council Declaration of12ITovember 1>73 onthe programme of
action onthe environment „
Thefollovriftg proposal fora:-Directive ^.like theDirective of27June IS'7,-has
been drawn upwith a"view tocomplete harmonization .
Asfor other directives inthefield ofdangerous substances and preparations it
seemed nocessary tochoose thesolution oftotal harmonisation ,becau.se these
dispositions concern theprotection oflife andhealth andalso the information
forusers' moreover the use ofthis solution has been supported insimilar caseB
bythe Suropean Parliament and the IDcononic ?,ndSocial Committee .

'%■ Byproviding that packages must "beso
constructed and sealed that their contents cannot escape orform harmful or
dangerous compounds with the packaging material andthat potential buyers must
"beinduced "byclear labelling topurchase those products which have the exact
properties required for the purpose for which they aretoheemployed ,the
proposal for aDirective helps toimprove theprotection ofman'shealth and
his environment ,conforming tothe objectives set out inthe programme ofaction
ofthe 'Juropean Communities onthe environment .

THE COUIIC IL07TEE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMOITITT
Having regard totheTreaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and inparticular Article 100thereof ,
Having regard tothe proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard tothe Opinion ofthe European Parliament ,
Having regard tothe Opinion ofthe Economic and Social Committee ,
Whereas dangerous substances andpreparations aresubject i.to rules inthe
Member States ,whereas there are considerable differences between these na­
tional rules particularly asregards labelling butalso asregards classifi­
cation according tothe degree ofrisk ;whereas these differences constitute
abarrier totrade anddirectly affect the establishment and functioning of
the common market f
Whereas itistherefore desirable toeliminate this obstacle and,inorder
toattain this objective ,toapproximate therelevant legislation existing
inthe Member States :

Whereas rules relating todangerous substances have already "been laid down in
Council Directive (l)of2^June 1967 aslast amended "bytheDirective of
21Hay 1973 (2);
Whereas rules concerning dangerous preparations have also heenlaid down in
Council Directive (3)of4June 1973 relating totheclassification ,packaging
andlabelling ofsolvents ;
Whereas itisnownecessary tolay down similar rules fordangerous preparations
containing toxic and harmful substances ,inparticular paints ,varnishes ,prin­
ting inks ,coatings ,adhesives and similar products j
Whereas anyrules concerning themarketing ofpaints ,varnishes ,etc *must also
aimatprotecting the public ,ard inparticular persons handling these prepara­
tions ;
Whereas this Directive can furthermore contribute totheprotection ofthe con­
sumer andthe environment byspecifying ,that attention must bedrawn tothe
hazards involved ;
Whereas itcould happen that these dangerous preparations ,although conforming
tothe provisions ofthis Directive ,endanger public health ofsafety ;whereas
itistherefore advisable toprovide aprocedure intended toremove this danger ,
