"Mr President, this report rightly seeks to limit the use of hazardous substances, including lead, in electrical and electronic equipment. However, I would like to inform Mr Florenz that, where lead is concerned – as the Italian proverb says – it is better to have leaden feet, that is to go slowly. I am saying this because, apart from anything else, many politicians and ministers in Europe have their pockets full of lead: so much so that they are unable to stand up from their chairs! Well then, metaphors aside, I feel we should not be in a hurry to eliminate all the harmful substances from electrical and electronic equipment either if there are no less harmful alternatives with which to replace them. I therefore support this report, with the proviso, however, that the ban on these substances is introduced gradually."@en1
