(4) The system to prevent the illicit manufacture of explosives should therefore be further strengthened and harmonised in view of the evolving threat to public security caused by terrorism and other serious criminal activities. This should also ensure the free movement of explosives precursors in the internal market, as well as promote competitiveness between economic operators and encourage innovation, by for example facilitating the development of safer chemicals to replace explosives precursors with a view to ensuring safety and security.

Recital 8
(8) In order to apply the restrictions and controls of this Regulation, those economic operators selling to professional users or members of the general public with a licence should rely on information made available upstream in the supply chain. Each economic operator in the supply chain should therefore inform the recipient of that restricted explosives precursor that the making available, introduction, possession or use of that restricted explosives precursor by members of the general public is subject to a restriction as set out in this Regulation, for instance by affixing an appropriate label or by verifying that an appropriate label is affixed orand by including this information in the safety data sheet compiled in accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of European Parliament and of the Council32 . _________________ 32 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p.1).

Recital 12
(12) Insofar as online marketplaces act as mere intermediaries between economic operators on the one hand, and members of the general public, professional users or farmers on the other hand, they should not be required to instruct their personnel involved in the sale of restricted explosives precursors or verify the identity and, where appropriate, the licence of the prospective customer or request other information from the prospective customer. However, given the central role which online marketplaces that act as an intermediary play in online economic transactions, including as regards the sales of restricted explosives precursors, it is appropriate that they should inform, in a clear and effective manner, users who aim to make available restricted explosives precursors through the use of their services of the obligations under this Regulation. In addition, it is appropriate that online marketplaces that act as an intermediary take measures to help ensure that their users comply with their obligations regarding verification, for instance by offering tools to facilitate verification of licences. All such obligations on online marketplaces that act as an intermediary under this Regulation should be without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15 of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . _________________ 34 Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market ('Directive on electronic commerce') (OJ L 178, 17.07.2000, p. 1).
