Recital 2
(2) The binding occupational limit values should be reviewed regularly and at least every 5 years and revised when necessary in the light of scientific data. This revision should duly take into account the recommendations and opinions of the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL) and the Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at work (ACSH) which is composed of three full members per Member State, representing national governments, trade unions and employers' organisations.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2 c (new)
(2c) There is no harmonised methodology for measuring workers' exposure to carcinogens, mutagens and substances that are toxic for reproduction at European level. The European Commission should shortly develop such an EU methodology in order to ensure on the one hand, similar and high-level protection for workers and on the other hand, a level playing field.
