"Question No 38 by Jonas Sjöstedt (): At the end of this year the Swedish ban on cadmium in fertilisers will expire. The EU derogation will then run out and new arrangements cannot be prepared in time. On its accession in 1995, Sweden was entitled to retain stricter rules than those applying in the EU for various chemicals and dangerous substances for four years. The derogation for the Swedish restrictions on cadmium in fertiliser was extended by three years. This time is up at the end of this year, and no new arrangements will be ready. The purpose of the derogation for a limited period was that the EU would, in the mean time, tighten up its rules on dangerous substances. This has been done in some cases, but not in respect of cadmium in fertilisers. Pending common rules the stopgap solution must be to extend the derogation, which applies to Finland and Austria as well as Sweden. But not even that will be possible before the end of the year. The Commission proposal has yet to be submitted, and it then has to be adopted by the Council and Parliament. This will mean that there will be a period during which high cadmium content fertiliser could theoretically be sold in Sweden. Does the Commission consider that Sweden may continue to apply its own rules during this interim period?"@en1
