Directive 96/74/EC lays down rules governing the labelling or marking of products as regards their textile fibre content, in order to ensure that consumer interests are thereby protected. Textile products may be placed on the market within the Community only if they comply with the provisions of that Directive.

(2)

In view of recent findings by a technical working group, it is necessary, for the purposes of adapting Directive 96/74/EC to technical progress, to add the fibre elastomultiester to the list of fibres set out in the Annexes I and II to that Directive.

(3)

Directive 96/74/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

2.

in Annex II the following entry 45 is added:

‘45

Elastomultiester

1,50’
