Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Lead and its inorganic compounds are an indispensable component in the construction and restoration of musical instruments, in particular for pipe organs, recognised by UNESCO as Imtangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It can therefore be expected that the musical instrument production and restoration sector will have difficulties in conforming, in the short term, to the biological limit value of 15 µg/100ml blood, together with an occupational exposure limit value of 0.03 mg/m³ expressed as a time-weighted average of eight hours. A five-year transitional period should therefore be introduced for that sector, during which a biological limit value of 40 µg/100ml blood and the occupational exposure limit value of 0.05 mg/m³ expressed as a time- weighted average of eight hours should apply.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) In implementing this Directive, Member States should avoid imposing financial, administrative and legal constraints in a way which would discourage the establishment and development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises. In this connection, the Member States and the competent bodies of the European Union are called on to provide incentives, guidance and advice to SMEs and micro- enterprises to facilitate conformity with this directive. Against this backdrop, the social partners are encouraged to conclude agreements, issue guidelines and take other joint actions that can identify and advance best practices.

-1. By 31 December 2028, the Commission shall, after consulting the Advisory Committee on Safety and Health at Work, submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council assessing whether the area of construction and restoration of musical instruments should fall within the scope of this directive. In that report, the Commission shall also list the appropriate limit values applicable to that sector.
