"Mr President, to avoid further destruction of the ozone layer we need above all to restrict our remaining exemptions. An exemption of this kind is granted for CFC-11 to the firm Du Pont in Luxembourg for the manufacture of polyolefin fibres. Du Pont itself has developed an alternative to CFC-11. This alternative is currently being examined by the competent authorities in Luxembourg. There is therefore no reason at all to continue to maintain this exemption. I would therefore ask you, in particular Mrs Flemming and the other Members of the PPE-DE Group, to vote for Amendment No 28. We are not dealing with a developing country here; this is sophisticated technology in a highly developed country. Environmentalists in Luxembourg have campaigned for this exemption to be abolished. The Environment Minister is behind them. If we in the European Parliament do not vote for this then the people of Luxembourg will have the feeling that Europe is a step backwards rather than forwards."@en1
