EEC on Banning Certain Agents

By this directive, which is the 4th individual directive under framework directive 80/1107/EEC, 3 aromatic amines and one aromatic nitro compound, all showing strong carcinogenic properties, are banned [6-8]. This means that they must not be produced or used in the European member states. 

The ban does not apply to mixtures and preparations or to presence as an impurity at a level of below 0.1 % by weight 

Note The Chemical Agents directive 98/24/EC, issued in 1998 and coming in force in the EU member states in May 2001 at the latest, superseded the content of this directive (see Section 6.3). Therefore, EU directive 88/364/EEC became obsolete and was repealed by this date.
