 ---pagebreak--- BACKGROUND
On 13 May 1982 the European Parliament examined the proposal Tor a
Directive on methods for the surveillance and monitoring of the en­
vironments affected by wastes from the titanium dioxide industry ( 1 )
and adopted the report drawn up on behalf of the Committee on the
Environment , Public Health and Consumer Protection . A number of
amendments to the Commission 's original text were requested .
These amendments consist of editorial clarifications to the text
proposed by the Commission as well as additional parameter measure-,
ments ( Article 7 ) and the provision of proof for the equivalence and
comparability of the results where methods of measurement other than
those provided for in the reference method are used ( Article 5 ( 1 ) ).
The Commission accepted the invitation from the European Parliament
to adopt two of the amendments put forward , in accordance with Article
149 ( 2 ) of the Treaty , by modifying its initial proposal .
