EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM                           '                    -
The aim of the proposal is - to extend the period laid down in Article 5
of Council Directive 76/T68/eEC .
1.  Article 5 provides that on expiry of a three–year period from
    notification of the abovementioned Directive , i.e. , on 30 July 1979 »
    the substances and colouring agents listed in Annex IV shall ?
    - either be definitively permitted ,
    - or definitively prohibited ( Annex# II ),
    – or else retained for a period of three years in Annex IV,
    – or deleted from all Annexes to the Directive .
2.  On 23 May 1979 ^he Commission forwarded to the Counoil a proposal
    for a Council Directive amending for the first time Directive 76/768/EEC
    in order , among other things , to ensure compliance with Article 5
    thereof*.
3.  In view of the complexity of the problem , it will not be possible to
    meet the deadline of 30 July 1979 *
4.  Accordingly , it is proposed that the period laid down in Article 5
    be extended to 31 December 1980 .
5.  The proposal is based on Article 100 . Since its implementation does not
    appear to entail amendments to the laws of the Member States , there
    does not appear to be a need to consult the European Pari lament
    and the Economic and Social Committee .
