2. Directive 90/128/EEC. Bisphenol A is cleared by several European countries that maintain "positive lists" of permissible components of food-contact articles. For example, it is permitted for use in food-contact materials in Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands. In addition, BPA has been included on the European Union's (EU) so-called "Monomers Directive" (Directive 90/128/EEC) for use as a monomer in food-contact plastics.
