COUNCIL DIRECTIVEof27July1976on the approximation of the laws,regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances andpreparations(76/769/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMU-NITIES,Having regard to the T reaty establishing the EuropeanEconomic Community,and in particular Article100thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and SocialCommittee(2),Whereas any rules concerning the placing on the market ofdangerous substances and preparations must aim at pro-tecting the public,and particular persons using such sub-stances and preparations;Whereas they should contribute to the protection of theenvironment from all substances and preparations whichhave characteristics of ecotoxicity or which could pollutethe environment;Whereas they should also aim to restore,preserve and im-prove the quality of human life;Whereas dangerous substances and preparations are gov-erned by rules in the Member States;whereas these rulesdiffer as to the conditions of their marketing and use;whereas these differences constitute an obstacle to tradeand directly affect the establishment and functioning of thecommon market;Whereas this obstacle should therefore be removed;where-as this entails approximating the laws governing the matterin the Member States;Whereas provisions relating to certain dangerous sub-stances and preparations have already been laid down inCommunity Directives;whereas it is still necessary to es-tablish rules for other products,in particular for those inrespect of which international organizations have decidedon restrictions such as polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB),adecision restricting the production and use of which wasadopted by the Council of the OECD on13February1973;whereas such a measure is necessary to prevent theabsorption of PCB by the human body and the resultantdanger to human health;Whereas detailed examinations have shown that polychlori-nated terphenyls(PCT)entail risks similar to those pres-ented by PCBs;whereas the marketing and use of suchsubstances should also be restricted;Whereas it will be necessary,moreover,periodically to re-view the whole problem with a view to moving graduallytowards a complete ban on PCBs and PCTs;(1)OJ No C60,13.3.1975,p.49.(2)OJ No C16,23.1.1975,p.25.Whereas the use of chloro-1-ethylene(monomer vinyl chloride)as an aerosol propellant involves dangers to human health and the use thereof should be prohibited, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:This Directive is addressed to the Member States.76/769/EEC---I94/60APPENDIXPoint29—CarcinogensList1,category12-naphthylamine;ß-naphthylamine CAS No91---5999---8biphenyl-4-ylamine;xenylamine;4-aminobiphenyl CAS
