It is worth noting that in Europe more and more governmental organizations are drawing attention to the significance of developing LCA. The Council of the European Union, for instance, is promoting just such an approach. 

One important consequence of the Committee s failure to make progress is that the existing Standard (Joint FAO/WHO, 1993) remains in place and will be the reference used by WTO in any trade dispute. This text is very out of date and revised provisions are needed urgently in order to ensure consumer protection and to facilitate fair trade. It is thus important that the European Commission and the IOOC harmonize their rules and that agreement is reached on the Codex text when it is discussed again at the 18th CCFO session in 2003. In this respect, a commitment was made by the European Commission to the Council to work constructively with the IOOC in order to harmonize standards (Council of the European Union, 2001).

These restrict the use of carcinogenic azo-dyes in textiles and leather articles and prohibits the sale of such articles dyed with the restricted azo dyes. Directives 2002/61/EC and 2003/3/EC had been transposed into national laws and put into effect in the member states respectively by September 11,2003 and June 30,2004.

The short term standard defined by the European Union (Direetive 2008/50/EC) (European Parliament, Council of the European Union 2008) for particulate matter smaller than 10 pm (PMio) is violated in many European cities (Querol et al. 2004 Van Dingenen et al. 2004), therefore the current air quality status of PMio is under investigation in many countries, in particular to understand the source terms of the particulate matter and to propose a catalogue of measures to avoid further exceeding of the limiting value. Eor a targeted reduction of PMio levels, detailed knowledge of sources and their respective contribution to the PM levels is required. 

The extreme sensitivity of ALA-D to divalent Pb ions has resulted in the measurement of its activity, as an indirect measurement of Pb in human blood (Berlin et al., 1977). Of all the enzymes involved in the hem biosynthesis pathway, it is the one which has been most studied due to the inhibiting effect that Pb has on its activity and the practical importance of the measurement of the enzymatic activity of ALA-D is considered to be of interest as a bioanalytic marker of environmental exposure to P b. This has been assisted by the development of a method which has been standardised at the proposal of the executive council of the European Union. Hemberg Nikkanen (1972) have published an extensive report on the biological meaning of ALA-D inhibition and its use as an exposure test.
