lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the rapporteur’s proposal and the proposals adopted by the committee entail a tougher attitude than the Council’s common position, and that, I think, is good. Just like Mrs Schörling, I nonetheless believe that we now have arguments for being able to go still further. Now, we have arguments for banning not only pentaBDE and oktaBDE but also dekaBDE. If we are to wait for the risk assessments, we are in danger of having to wait too long. Moreover, we are in possession of the arguments right now, and we know that these substances, which are hazardous, accumulate in the human body and are increasingly present in our living environment. We really have all the arguments needed for taking a decision right now. There are also alternatives to these brominated flame retardants, which are otherwise in danger of becoming a major health problem in the future. Just like Mr Bowe, I think we must take an intelligent decision which, in this case, means daring to take the lead and ban what we know to be hazardous."@en1
