ensure that the responses do not conflict with existing
Community legislation. However, the Commission also
needs to take into consideration Member States' bans or
severe restrictions, pending a Community decision.

The substances binapacryl, captafol, hexachlorobenzene,
pentachlorophenol
are banned or
and toxaphene
severely restricted at Community level, in particular by
