English Abstract This report presents the results of the investigations
carried out for 8 substances needing special attention ; in contrast to
previous investigations for most substances no extended surveys were carried
out. For 2 substances (DBP and DEHP) it concerned a second survey amongst
users of these substances. This report presents the results in such a way
that no confidential data supplied by the firms can be recognized. It is
advized to remove the substances 2-hydroxy-2- methylpropanenitrile,
hexachloronaphthalene and Direct Red 39 from the list of substances needing
special attention. The other substances can stay on the list and surveys
for them can be conducted in respect to the strategy which will be followed
after the proposed revision.
