". – Mr President, I would like firstly to express my thanks to Members for their interest in this proposal and especially to Mr Bakopoulos, the rapporteur for his constructive work. This is an important directive as it would introduce a ban on certain colourants for textiles and leather articles as there are colourants that have been shown to pose risks to human health.
It is a far-reaching proposal as it covers the marketing and use of a large number of textiles and leather articles. The proposed directive will also encourage the marketing and use of alternative colourants. I can understand that Members have concerns going beyond the proposed directive with regard to material other than textiles or leather and I would like to address those concerns.
The Commission's approach is to identify articles containing the dangerous substances that have clearly been shown on the basis of sufficient data to pose risks. Currently the Commission has no information that these colourants are present in toys made of materials other than textiles or leather. However, toys containing dangerous substances or preparations are already banned by the toys directive. Furthermore, within this framework the Commission is actively considering the risks posed by such substances in toys. Against this background, the Commission is unable to accept Amendments Nos 1 to 4."@en1
