This Regulation should also promote the development of alter native methods for the assessment of hazards of substances. (2) The efficient functioning of the internal market for substances can be achieved only if requirements for substances do not differ significantly from Member State to Member State. (3) A high level of human health and environmental protection should be ensured in the approximation of legislation on substances, with the goal of achieving sustainable development. That legislation should be applied in a non-discriminatory manner whether substances are traded on the internal market or interna tionally in accordance with the Community's international commitments.

Council Decision of 18 December 2006. 2006R1907 — EN — 25.09.2015 — 024.001 — 4 ▼C1 (4) Pursuant to the implementation plan adopted on 4 September 2002 at the Johannesburg World Summit on sustainable develop ment, the European Union is aiming to achieve that, by 2020, chemicals are produced and used in ways that lead to the mini misation of significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. (5) This Regulation should apply without prejudice to Community workplace and environment legislation. (6) This Regulation should contribute to fulfilment of the Strategic Approach to International Chemical Management (SAICM) adopted on 6 February 2006 in Dubai. (7) To preserve the integrity of the internal market and to ensure a high level of protection for human health, especially the health of workers, and the environment, it is necessary to ensure that manufacturing of substances in the Community complies with Community law, even if those substances are exported. (8) Special account should be taken of the potential impact of this Regulation on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the need to avoid any discrimination against them. (9) The assessment of the operation of the four main legal instruments governing chemicals in the Community, i.e. Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approx imation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (1 ), Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (2 ), Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and admin istrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classifi cation, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (3 ) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances (4 ), identified a number of problems in the functioning of Community legislation on chemicals, resulting in disparities between the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in Member States directly affecting the functioning of the internal market in this field, and the need to do more to protect public health and the environment in accordance with the precautionary principle.
