BRUSSELS LOSES PATIENCE OVER AEROSOL DIRECTIVE
October 1st, 2010
BY KEITH NUTHALL
THE EUROPEAN Commission has told Italy, Sweden and Finland they must implement revised European Union safety test rules on aerosol dispensers, (directive 75/324/EEC and its amendments). Despite the directive's vintage, Italy and Sweden have not implemented it at all, while Finland ignores it for the Aland islands in the Baltic. If these member states do not comply, the Commission may launch cases at the European Court of Justice.
