"Since I am not familiar with the investigation concerning the dangers to which these substances give rise, I must say that I cannot, unfortunately, reply directly to the question of whether arrangements should be made to prohibit the use of such substances. I should like, nonetheless, to refer to the Council’s conclusions, to which I also referred in my first reply and which I can also send to you if you wish.
In accordance with the general programme in Council Regulation no 793/93 concerning the assessment and monitoring of risks presented by existing substances, three brominated flame retardants are at present under investigation. If required, the Commission will submit proposals concerning Community measures to reduce the risks to which these substances give rise.
Other specific questions which have also been asked in this context fall within the Commission’s area of authority, and the Commission, in its capacity as administrator of the Community’s policy, also has access to the tools and information which are needed if reliable and up-to-date answers are to be given. When it comes to being able to prohibit these substances, I believe, finally, that the Commission must be asked for its answer to this question."@en1
