So if you could somehow link that you flagged them after that or when you've looked at inherent toxicity and done a screening assessment after a PSL— I can think of one or two examples of substances we've called not toxic after a priority substance assessment in which it would be useful to know that if it were a close enough call, then certainly, if there were perhaps a new use, they would be toxic.

The burden was placed on government to try to identify priority substances requiring assessment, first through the creation of two priority substances lists in 1989 and 1995, and more recently through the categorization exercise.

In the interests of the Community and for a more effective regulation of surface water protection, it is appropriate to set up EQS for pollutants classified as priority substances at Community level and to leave it to Member States to lay down, where necessary, rules for remaining pollutants at national level, subject to the application of relevant Community rules.

Introduction of synthetic compounds (e.g. priority substances under Directive 2000/60/EC which are relevant for the marine environment such as pesticides, antifoulants, pharmaceuticals, resulting, for example, from losses from diffuse sources, pollution by ships, atmospheric deposition and biologically active substances),
