Anthracene oil ('AO') (EC 292-602-7, CAS 90640-80-5):
The European Commission has refused eight authorisations for uses of the following substances:
Lead sulfochromate yellow (EC 215-693-7, CAS 1344-37-2); and
Lead chromate molybdate sulfate red (EC 235-759-9, CAS 12656-85-8):
Note: The decision refusing these eight uses replaces the effect of the previous positive decision initially granting authorisation for the use C(2016)5644, which was annulled by the General Court in the judgment of 7 March 2019 in case T-837/16. The annulment was confirmed by the judgment of 25 February 2021 of the Court of Justice in appeal case C 389/19 P, which maintained the effects of Decision C(2016) 5644 until the adoption of a new Commission Implementing Decision on the application for authorisation.
