"In late June 2007, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Regulation on classification, labelling and packaging of hazardous substances and mixtures intended to implement in the EU the Globally Harmonised System of classification and labelling of chemicals adopted by the United Nations Economic and Social Committee. The changes to the Community rules on classification and labelling of chemical substances and preparations will impact the health and safety of workers who are exposed to hazardous chemicals. This article looks at the draft Regulation, which the European Parliament and Council will have to agree on through the co-decision procedure."
