(2b) It is necessary to amend Directive 2004/37/EC in order to address the lack of transparency relating to the risk of disease arising from carcinogens, mutagens and reproductive toxicants. The risk level for the occupational exposure limit of each substance and the date of the last estimate should therefore be indicated in the table in Annex III to Directive 2004/37/EC.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The Commission should be assisted in evaluating the latest scientific data and in proposing occupational exposure limits for the protection of workers from chemical risks by the Committee for Risk Assessment established pursuant to Article 76(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The Commission should propose extending the mandate of that committee accordingly.

Recital 5 a (new)
Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) There is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of diesel engine exhaust emissions. On the basis of available information, including scientific and technical data, a limit value for diesel engine exhaust emissions should be established. Diesel engine exhaust emissions generated by a work process are not subject to classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. It is therefore appropriate to include work involving exposure to diesel engine exhaust emissions generated by a work process in Annex I to Directive 2004/37/EC and to establish a limit value for diesel engine exhaust emissions.

Recital 7
(7) The limit values set out in Annex III to Directive 2004/37/EC for vinyl chloride monomer and hardwood dusts should be revised in the light of more recent scientific data. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, excesses of sinonasal cancer were observed among workers primarily exposed to softwood in case–control studies carried out in several countries. The limit value should therefore be revised to apply to all wood dusts.
