AskEric
Our AskEric enquiry service, exclusive to EIA Members, can confidentially answer all manner of questions.
The latest question sent to Eric concerned a request for 'a 2005 Directive that concerned allergic reactions to substances in cement such as chromium', which resulted in a fruitless EUR-Lex search for anything relevant in 2005. Eric's response was:
This is a useful reminder that every Directive has at least two significant dates attached: the one when it was adopted, and the deadline for implementation by the Member States. Leaving the date aside, a search for cement WITH allerg* (to cover the possibility of both allergies and allergic) in EUR-Lex produces 18 hits using the title and text option .
