To close potential loopholes connected to the transfer of inherent or pure CO, such transfers should only be allowed subject to very specific conditions. Those conditions are that the transfer of inherent CO should only be to other EU-ETS installations and the transfer of pure CO should only occur for the purposes of storage in a geological storage site pursuant to the Union’s greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme, which is at present the only form of permanent storage of CO accepted under the Union’s greenhouse gas emission trading scheme.

A metabolite is deemed relevant if there is a reason to assume that it has intrinsic properties comparable to the parent substance in terms of its biological target activity, or that it poses a higher or comparable risk to organisms than the parent substance or that it has certain toxicological properties that are considered unacceptable.

The major conclusions of that opinion were, first, that, as concerns excess intake of hormone residues and their metabolites, and in view of the intrinsic properties of hormones and the epidemiological findings, a risk to the consumer has been identified with different levels of conclusive evidence for the six hormones evaluated. Second, for the six hormones endocrine, developmental, immunological, neurobiological, immunotoxic, genotoxic and carcinogenic effects could be envisaged and, of the various susceptible risk groups, prepubert ...[+++]al children is the group of greatest concern and, third, in view of the intrinsic properties of the hormones and taking into account epidemiological findings, no threshold levels and, therefore, no Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) can be established for any of the six hormones evaluated when they are administered to bovine animals for growth promotion purposes.

The JRC will use its internal scientific potential and its relations with scientific networks of excellence to establish a support mechanism for decision-making in risk management, taking into account the initiatives already launched under the partial agreement of the European Council on measures against major risks at the service of policy-making by the European Union, its Member States, and accession and associated States, by playing the part of European mediation pole supplying decision-makers with the structured knowledge they require at the right time and in an appropriate form in support of their decision-making activities.

There is a tendency to overlook a fundamental issue. Work always entails a risk. No situation is free from risk. Worse, that risk is sometimes hidden, not immediately obvious, does not strike us at once, and is difficult to detect.

ensuring that risk assessment provisions reflect the different risks arising from work where exposure to asbestos is an intrinsic or incidental feature;
