lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all I should like to thank the rapporteur for this highly gratifying report and for her successful work behind the scenes; at the same time, of course, I wish to thank everyone else involved for their fruitful cooperation. I am aware of the significance of this directive in terms of the development and enhancement of European environment policy. It will be the first legal instrument to set a limit on concentrations of a carcinogenic substance. Its significance lies not only in the fact that it is important to have a limit value for this particular carcinogenic substance but also in the fact that it sets a precedent for the future regulation of other carcinogens. The main political aim at the first reading was to limit the scope for derogations from the prescribed limit values as far as possible, to make the rules as restrictive as possible, and I believe that we can be more than pleased with this solution, which was the fruit of our joint efforts. My Group is also interested, of course, in the rapid implementation of this directive, and we wish to avoid a conciliation procedure. I am also aware that the debate on this directive is not the right place to discuss indoor pollution. Nevertheless, I do believe that it is appropriate to highlight the dangers of indoor pollution and to call for initiatives in that domain, such as additional research. After all, there is evidence that people are exposed to hazardous substances, especially the carcinogen benzene, as a result of indoor pollution too. This is why we support the amendments that have been tabled, and we trust that we shall nevertheless be able to avoid a conciliation procedure."@en1
