discussions held in the Economic and Social Committee on the Proposal
for a Council Directive ( 2 ) amending for the fifth time the Council
Directive of 27 June 1967 concerning the appro:cimation of the laws of
the Member States relating to the classification , packaging and
labelling of dangerous substances , the Commission considers it proper
to alter , under the second paragraph of Article 149 of "fch° Treaty-
establishing the European Economic Community , its original Proposal .
The Commission agrees with the alteration proposed by the European
Parliament making it obligatory to accompany dangerous substances by
advice on their use .    It is therefore necessary to alter Article 2 ,
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 alteration proposed by the Parliament .
