". I endorse Mrs Damião’s report and congratulate her warmly on her work. The asbestos tragedy is a typical incident and we should learn from it as much as we can. We knew a long time ago that serious danger was brewing. For economic reasons, we ignored this danger for a long time and, today, tens of thousands of victims are suffering and dying. Now we are attempting to protect ourselves. Tomorrow, however, those who refused to see what was before their eyes will have to justify themselves to their victims and provide them with compensation. Over and above the new protection measures taken, I hope this asbestos tragedy will serve as a lesson to those who treat lightly the risks posed by certain products, by new types of production, genetic manipulation and the unlimited creation of new magnetic fields, to mention but a few well-known examples. In other words, when reason fails, we must invoke legal, or even criminal, liability. That is why I voted for the Damião report.."@en1
