THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 96/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 on certain methods for quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2008/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 January 2009 on textile names(2) requires labelling to indicate the fibre composition of textile products, with checks being carried out by analysis on the conformity of these products with indications given on the label.
(2) Uniform methods for quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures are provided for in Directive 96/73/EC.
(3) On the basis of recent findings by a technical working group, Directive 2008/121/EC was adapted to technical progress, by adding the fibre polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent to the list of fibres set out in Annexes I and V to that Directive.
(4) It is therefore necessary to define uniform test methods for polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent.
(5) Directive 96/73/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Directives relating to Textile Names and Labelling,
