1. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report.

2. Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government’s response to the concern previously expressed by the Central Organizations of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) that white lead paint, even though not produced in Finland, is still imported and workers in small enterprises are exposed thereto. It notes the Government’s statement that the Chemical Act (No. 744 of 1998) and the Ordinance on chemicals (No. 675 of 1993) also is applicable, inter alia, to manufacturers and importers of products that contain lead.
