In the draft recommendation, at the end of paragraph 6, add the following words:

"This study should include, in any case, ongoing scientific research at international level to learn the risks of nanotechnological material. Thus, the scientific community will be actively involved in the drafting of any proposal of standardisation and/or legislation."

Explanatory note

Again, the goal is to guarantee that any legal proposal regarding such a complex matter shall count on the largest possible involvement of the scientific community, which is currently conducting research in this field.
