European Union chemical and waste directives and the treaty that phased out ozone-depleting substances: REACH, the RoHS and WEEE directives and the Montreal Protocol. A regulation belongs here when its cited article describes a European Union or treaty rule on chemicals, electronics waste or the ozone layer. It excludes American statutes. The Montreal Protocol is admitted although it is a treaty, because the Union implements it through regulation and the article treats it as a regulatory regime.
