IN THAT REGARD . CONSEQUENTLY , ARTICLE 5 OF THAT DIRECTIVE MUST , ACCORDING TO THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT , BE INTERPRETED , IN CONJUNCTION WITH ARTICLES 2 AND 4 , AS MEANING THAT THE ' SUBSTANCES ON THEIR OWN OR IN PREPARATIONS ' THEREIN REFERRED TO ARE THOSE ACTUALLY INDICATED IN THE DETAILED LIST AND PLACED ON THE MARKET AS SUCH . WITH REGARD TO ' DANGEROUS PREPARATIONS ' , THE DIRECTIVE MERELY LAYS DOWN SEVERAL PRINCIPLES WHICH CAN ONLY BE IMPLEMENTED AFTER THOSE ' PREPARATIONS ' HAVE BEEN DETERMINED .
9 THE COMMISSION SUBMITS THAT DIRECTIVE 67/548/EEC APPLIES AS A GENERAL RULE ONLY TO SUBSTANCES PLACED ON THE MARKET AS SUCH , AND THE PROVISIONS ALSO MENTIONING PREPARATIONS MUST BE REGARDED AS EXCEPTIONS . ALTHOUGH SOME PROVISIONS OF THE DIRECTIVE ALSO APPLY TO CERTAIN PREPARATIONS SUCH AS SOLVENTS , PESTICIDES , PAINTS , VARNISHES , PRINTING INKS , ADHESIVES AND SIMILAR PRODUCTS , THAT IS ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THREE SPECIAL DIRECTIVES GOVERNING THOSE PREPARATIONS , WHICH EXPRESSLY REFER TO DIRECTIVE 67/548/EEC . THERE ARE THUS NO COMMUNITY RULES CONCERNING THE PACKAGING AND LABELLING OF MINERAL OILS FOR VEHICLES , NOR FOR PREPARATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE GOVERNED BY THE THREE SPECIAL DIRECTIVES .
10 IN ORDER TO REPLY TO THE QUESTION , A DISTINCTION MUST BE MADE BETWEEN , ON THE ONE HAND , THE MARKETING AND USE OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS AND , ON THE OTHER , THEIR PACKAGING AND LABELLING .
11 THE MARKETING AND USE OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS ARE GOVERNED BY COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 76/769 OF 27 JULY 1976 ON THE APPROXIMATION OF THE LAWS , REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS OF THE MEMBER STATES RELATING TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE MARKETING AND USE OF CERTAIN DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL L 262 , P . 201 ), MOST RECENTLY AMENDED BY DIRECTIVE 82/828/EEC OF 10 DECEMBER 1982 ( OFFICIAL JOURNAL 1982 , L 350 , P . 34 ). THE LIST OF SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS , AS WELL AS THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEY MAY BE MARKETED AND USED , IS CONTAINED IN THE ANNEX REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 1 OF THAT DIRECTIVE . ACCORDING TO THE THIRD INDENT OF POINT 1 OF THAT ANNEX , PREPARATIONS CONTAINING PCB MAY , SUBJECT TO CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS , BE MARKETED ONLY IF THAT SUBSTANCE CONSTITUTES NO MORE THAN 0.1% OF THE WEIGHT OF THE PREPARATION . THE PROVISIONS OF THAT DIRECTIVE ARE NOT THE SUBJECT OF THE QUESTION SUBMITTED BY THE NATIONAL COURT .
12 WITH REGARD TO PACKAGING AND LABELLING , A DISTINCTION MUST BE DRAWN BETWEEN DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND DANGEROUS PREPARATIONS . WITH REGARD TO DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES , IT IS NOT DISPUTED THAT DIRECTIVE 67/548/EEC AS AMENDED CONTAINS PROVISIONS REGARDING THEIR PACKAGING , AND THE INFORMATION WHICH MUST BE ON THE PACKAGING OR ON LABELS AFFIXED THERETO . THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS ARE , IN PARTICULAR , THOSE CONTAINED IN ARTICLES 15 TO 18 . THE QUESTION SUBMITTED BY THE NATIONAL
