Having regard to the Opinion ( 1 ) of the European Parliament on the Council
Directive concerning the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to the restriction of the marketing and use of certain dangerous
substances and preparations , the Commission considers it proper to alter ,
under the second paragraph of Article 149 of the Treaty establishing the
European Economic Community , its original Proposal .
The Commission agrees with the amendment proposed by the European Parlia­
ment asking for the completion of Article 1(1 ).
It is therefore necessary to modify this paragraph .
As concerns the request of the European Parliament to examine as soon as
possible other dangerous substances and preparations and , where appropriate ,
to include them in the Annex to this Directive , the Commission's departments ,
after having met this request and after having examined these other substance
have come to the conclusion that it would be appropriate to add to the list
of the annex one more substance , the use of which appears to be dangerous
to man .
This measure corresponds to the initiative already taken by two Member
States .
However , for the reasons set out in its letter to the President of the
European Parliament , the Commission did not feel able to accept the other
amendment proposed by the Parliament .
