"Madam President, the way in which this Parliament has passed its verdict on the PVC report fills me with great sadness. Why am I sad? Because the House has displayed little professional expertise in its voting behaviour. Allow me to quote a few examples. The first example is the banning of PVC in buildings. Madam President, if PVC had been used in Dusseldorf airport, for example, the fire would not have been as fierce. The claims made here are therefore nonsense.
The same applies to a number of observations regarding incineration. It is not PVC, but particularly vegetable, fruit and garden waste which is generating the chlorine compounds. What disappointed me greatly, is that the area where legislation could be put in place easily and promptly by means of self-regulation – the industry is keen on that – is the area which the majority of this Parliament voted against, especially the liberal group, where I had most certainly hoped to find supporters.
The outcome is disappointing, and I am holding on to what the Commission said yesterday, namely that it will not introduce further legislation, but only present a communication."@en1
