Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the council aims to cover substances or mixtures which meet the criteria for classification as a category 1A or 1B carcinogen and/or mutagen set out in annex I to Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) as well as substances, mixtures or process referred to in annex I to this Directive. The substances which meet the criteria for classification as a category 1A or 1B carcinogen or mutagen set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008 are those with an harmonised classification or a self-classification notified to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). They are listed in the public Classification and Labelling Inventory maintained by ECHA. Substances classified by IARC as carcinogens category 1or 2A are also deemed to meet the criteria for classification as a category 1A or 1B carcinogen set out in annex I to Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a. __________________ 1a Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (OJ L 353, 31.12.2008, p. 1).

Recital 4 b (new)
(4b) There is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of diesel engine exhaust emissions from old diesel engines. New diesel engine technology has changed the quality and quantity of diesel emissions and the associated cancer risks have been reduced but not eliminated. Due to the long transition time to switch from old to new diesel technology, a concomitant exposure to exhaust emissions from old and new diesel engines is expected to occur at work for the many years to come. Diesel engine exhaust emissions are process-generated and consequently they are not subject to classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008. On the basis of available information, including scientific and technical data, a limit value for diesel engine exhaust emissions should be established. It is therefore appropriate to include work involving exposure to diesel engine exhaust emissions in Annex I and to establish a limit value for diesel engine exhaust emissions in Annex III to Directive 2004/37/EC. The entries in Annex I and Annex III should cover fumes from all types of diesel engine and thus irrespective of whether the exhaust emissions are from old or new diesel engines.
