Abstract

The invention relates to a container closure with a perforable seal (1) for removing or adding liquids by means of a blunt hollow needle (10) from or into a container (3), said seal consisting at least partially of a highly elastic material which is grooved to at least 75% of its thickness at the perforation point (23). In this case, the closure can be constructed independently in the form of a stopper or as an insertion plate for a closure.
