When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
There are currently no known outstanding effects by UK legislation for Regulation (EC) No 1137/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Division 3.2..
As regards Directive 76/769/EEC, the Commission should be empowered to adapt the Annexes thereto to technical progress. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 76/769/EEC, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
When, on imperative grounds of urgency, such as an urgent need to strengthen restrictions on the marketing or use of dangerous substances, the normal time limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to apply the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC.
Accordingly, Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
Article 2a shall be replaced by the following:
The Commission may adapt the Annexes to this Directive to technical progress with regard to substances and preparations covered by this Directive. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 2b(2). On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 2b(3).’;
the following Article shall be inserted:
1.The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee established by Article 29(1) of Council Directive 67/548/EEC(2)
