". – Mr President, first of all I would like to thank the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy, and in particular its rapporteur, Mrs Schörling, for her very constructive handling of this proposal. The aims of the proposed directive are to guarantee the free movement of chemical substances and preparations and to improve health protection and consumer safety by prohibiting the placing of CMR substances on the market for use by the general public. The proposed directive will accordingly introduce harmonised rules throughout the Community.
On 12 February 2002 the Commission proposed a directive which would update the existing list of CMR substances banned for consumer use by adding 44 further substances. By covering substances and preparations (such as glues, household cleaning products and paints) the Commission's proposal addresses the situations most likely to lead to exposure of consumers. This is the fifth time that the Commission has proposed such an update of the list of CMR substances. If risks of CMR substances in articles are identified, such uses are restricted separately on a case-by-case basis founded on risk assessment.
To conclude, the Commission believes that its proposal not only provides for the protection of consumers' health, but also preserves the internal market by the introduction of harmonised rules. I would therefore ask for your support for the adoption of this important measure."@en1
