The Directive here implemented makes amendments to Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. Regulation 3 sets out exclusions from the scope of the Regulations. Regulation 4 places restrictions on the placing on the market or the use of either of the restricted substances for certain specified purposes. Regulation 5 makes it an offence to contravene regulation 4 and specifies the maximum penalties for such an offence. It also provides that where an offence is committed by a body corporate or a Scottish partnership, specified individuals may also be guilty of that offence if it were committed with that person's consent or connivance, or as a result of their neglect.
