           Commission opinion on the amendment presented by the European Parliament which has not been accepted
           Amendment No 2 relating to Article 2 (3):
           The amendment relates to the replacing of the words 'Member States may refrain from requiring the
           indication referred to .. .' by 'Member States may grant exemptions to the required indication referred
           to ...'.
           It would not appear necessary to carry out this amendment which is of a strictly editorial nature, since the
           original text did undergo a linguistic and legal study and is to the full satisfaction of the Commission.
