These two texts have too little in common to be compared paragraph by paragraph (under 15 % of their paragraphs match): they are different documents rather than versions of one — for example a group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted.

Changes to the text in document order — the ones the change notes describe. Cover page, renumbering and punctuation-only edits are left out (see “Every difference”); changes to citations and references stay in and are marked as formal in the notes.
Change 1
RemovedRecital 9: (9) In the more specific case of scientific divergence pertaining to the hazard identification of chemical substances, a new procedure enabling the resolution of the divergence should be established. This procedure should enable the Commission to request the European Chemicals Agency, as the Union agency most equipped with expertise and capacity in hazard assessment, as well as long-standing experience with the harmonised classification and labelling process, to develop a proposal for harmonised classification and labelling, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and Council, moving closer to the ‘one substance, one assessment’ vision as regards uniformity of hazard assessments of chemicals across the Union, enhancing the protection of health and the environment. This possibility should be reflected in the relevant provision providing for the resolution of diverging scientific opinions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
RemovedRecital 14 a (new): (14a) This Regulation expands the tasks, workload and remit of the scientific committees of the European Chemicals Agency. In order to provide adequate expertise, support and thorough scientific evaluations, appropriate and stable resources, capacity and governance of the scientific committees should be ensured. In this respect, the European Commission should regularly monitor the needs of the European Chemicals Agency stemming from this Regulation, and provide the Agency with sufficient and stable resources.

Differences in assessment methodologies resulting in divergent opinions shall be duly justified, especially regarding the protection of vulnerable groups.
RemovedRegulation (EC) No 178/2002
RemovedArticle 1 – paragraph 1 – point 2, Article 30 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2: The Authority and the body concerned shall cooperate to resolve the divergence, with the aim of ensuring the highest level of protection of health and the environment.

If the Authority and the body concerned are not able to resolve the divergence, they shall draw up a joint report. The report shall clearly outline the contentious scientific issues, identify the relevant uncertainties in the data and the possible causes for the diverging opinions, including on methodological differences, and be made publicly available.

After consulting the body concerned, the Authority shall lay down a period within which that information is to be provided and shall inform the Commission of the additional period needed. The Commission shall inform the business operators and the Member States concerned of the extension.
