THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws,  regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling  of dangerous substances  (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC  (2), and in  particular Articles 28 and 29 thereof,
Whereas Annex I of Council Directive 67/548/EEC contains a list of dangerous substances, together  with particulars of the classification and labelling procedures in respect of each substance and  whereas Council Directive 92/32/EEC  (3) amended the provisions relating to the classification and  labelling of dangerous substances;
Whereas, therefore, it is necessary to revise the classification of certain substances in Annex I  and, further, to include, where appropriate in Annex I, the EEC number;
Whereas Germany requested a change in the labelling of a number of substances and notified the  Commission accordingly under Article 23 of Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Directive 79/831/EEC   (4);
Whereas examination of the list of dangerous substances in the said Annex I has shown that this  list needs to be adapted in the light of present scientific and technical knowledge;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the  Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives for the Elimination of Technical Barriers to  Trade in Dangerous Substances and Preparations,
