EXPLANATORY NOTE | ||
(This note is not part of the instrument and does not purport to be legal interpretation). | ||
The labelling of textiles is governed by the Principal Regulations [ S.I. No. 245 of 1998 which transposed EU Directive 96/74/EC]. Commission Directive 2006/3/EC amends the Principal Regulations by adding a new textile called “elastomultiester”. | ||
