Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations give effect to European Parliament and Council Directive 97/16/EC which amended for the fifteenth time Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. Regulation 3 prohibits the use of hexachloroethane in the manufacturing and processing of non-ferrous metals. Regulation 4 provides for exceptions from the prohibition in regulation 3. Regulation 5 makes it a criminal offence to contravene regulation 3 and specifies penalties for such an offence. In the Directive hexachloroethane is identified by reference to its CAS Number which is 67-72-1 and its EINECS Number, which is 2006664. The CAS Number is given in the CAS Registry Handbook, ISSN 0093-058. The EINECS Number is given in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (O.J. No. C146A, 15.6.90, p. 1).

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
