summary
The European Parliament amended the Council common position with nine amendments, the basic purpose of which was to: - point out that it is up to third countries to decide which chemical products can be imported and reiterate that, as far as the risks inherent in exporting highly toxic substances are concerned, exports are governed by Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92, - bring exports of carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic substances under the said Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2455/92, - supplement the Annex to the regulation by adding 22 new dangerous substances, - include in the Annex to the regulation all substances governed by Directive 76/769/EEC, in order to guarantee the populations of third countries the same level of protection as in the Community, - suggest that industry take charge of organising and funding training seminars in developing countries, in order to explain the risks inherent in imported chemical products, - reiterate the Community's duty to take action to guarantee populations in developing countries the same level of health protection as in the Community, - supplement Article 4 of the regulation by adding the obligation to renew notifications every three years in the event of repeat exports of a chemical product subject to notification. The Commission did not accept any of Parliament's proposed amendments.�

summary
The common position, which was approved unanimously, does not incorporate any of the 15 amendments proposed by the European Parliament. A number of the proposed amendments related to the basic regulations and did not come within the scope of article 11. Others, relating to the inclusion of specific chemical products in Annex I, were rejected because the products in question do not meet the criteria laid down in the regulation. There is only one amendment to Annex I: the limitation on the use of no. 34 (maleic hydrazide and its salts), which previously corresponded to "sr" and which now becomes "b".�

T3-0139/1994
summary
In 1992 the Community imported more than 65 million tonnes of chemical products and exported nearly 62 million tonnes. Each year chemical products are responsible for accidents in third-world countries which result in the deaths of 20,000 to 30,000 persons and cause bodily injuries to hundreds of thousands of others. In adopting the report by Mr Florenz (PPE, D), Parliament approved the proposal for an amendment of the regulation on the approximation of the Member States' administrative measures for limiting the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. However, it took the view that the proposed additions and modifications were insufficient and called for the inclusion of products whose marketing was prohibited or restricted for reasons to do with public health and/or the protection of the environment. By 178 votes to 95, with 3 abstentions, Parliament therefore called for the following substances to be included on the list: carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic substances, and those which contained creosote, coal-tar distillates, naphthalene and anthracene oils, chloroform, trichlorethane, tetrachlorethane, etc. �
