Article 2 – paragraph 2 a (new)

2a. In view of the various definitions of nanomaterials published by different bodies and the constant technical and scientific developments in the field of nanotechnologies, the Commission should: a) propose a definition to be accepted at European Community and, if possible, international level, by the competent international fora, no later than 18 months after the adoption of this regulation. Once such an agreement has been reached, paragraph 1(a) shall be adapted; b) adjust and adapt the definition in paragraph 1(a) to ensure that it is in keeping with scientific and technological progress and with definitions subsequently agreed at international level.
