".
The Council common position, adopted on 12 February 2001, accepted 21 of the 30 amendments tabled by the European Parliament. Nevertheless, it left out important issues which the rapporteur has referred back to the European Parliament for second reading, and for which we have voted.
First and foremost, the introduction of the precautionary principle in the marketing of products and in measures to be taken in risk management. This is a general principle, used by public authorities and must be referred to explicitly with regard to the powers and obligations of Member States.
Furthermore, the Council common position abandons the idea of a total ban on exporting products that present serious risks, despite clarifying the concept of partial bans or no bans whatsoever, without presenting any criteria for choosing which ban to apply. We should, therefore, reinstate the European Commission’s original proposal.
Lastly, another important issue is safety in the field of services. As the rapporteur says, the Commission must present rapid proposals for the safety of services. The Commission must identify the needs and priorities for Community action in this field, and the responsibilities of service providers, taking account of the clarifications of the common position on the scope of application of the present directive."@en1
