lpv:translated text	"Despite its very limited nature and the fact that it is clearly inadequate with regard to the problem, we shall vote in favour of the directive on “minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres”, inasmuch as it could represent progress in countries where workers are least protected. However, in view of the fact that there is no provision either for real control – that is to say, carried out by the at risk workers themselves and more widely, by the population – or a sanction against employers guilty of negligence, the directive is likely to go unheeded. The resolution, however, while claiming to place the safety and health of workers above considerations of a purely economic nature in Article 3, contradicts itself in Article 2 by refusing to impose constraints that would thwart the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings. It will therefore remain up to the workers themselves to impose this minimum protection to which they should be entitled and which the directive does not even pretend to impose."@en1
