Regulation 258/1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients [1997] OJ L43/1 is in the process of amendment. The latest version, Position 6/2010 of the Council at First Reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on novel foods [2010] OJ C122E/03 provides that: '"engineered nanomaterial' means any intentionally produced material that has one or more dimensions of the order of 100 nm or less or that is composed of discrete functional parts, either internally or at the surface, many of which have one or more dimensions of the order of 100 nm or less, including structures, agglomerates or aggregates, which may have a size above the order of 100 nm but retain properties that are characteristic of the nanoscale." Properties "characteristic of the nanoscale" include: "those related to the large specific surface area of the materials considered" and/or "specific physico-chemical properties that are different from those of the non-nanoform of the same material", art 3(2)(c).

Its reason for disagreeing is that "due to the lack of appropriate data and methods to assess the risks relating to nanomaterials it is effectively unable to address their risks"

Sweden v Commission (T-229/04) [2007] E.C.R. 11-2437 (on paraquat) is a case in point, where the precautionary principle seems to be used more to emphasise the level of risk that can be allowed, rather than addressing uncertainty, and is highly dependent on the specific regulatory context. Similarly (and although these were not cases about the precautionary principle), in the challenges to national allocation plans under Directive 2003/87 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community [2003] OJ L275/32, the allocation of authority between member state and Commission in the Directive was key to the role of technical evidence

Substance means "a chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any manufacturing process, including any additive necessary to preserve its stability and any impurity deriving from the process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting the stability of the substance or changing its composition", art.3( 1). REACH applies to substances on their own or in preparations, and substances in articles where the substance "is intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use", arts 6-7. The inclusion of substances in articles greatly expands the scope of the regulations, although somewhat less stringent requirements apply
