". – Firstly, I would like to express my thanks to Members for their interest in this proposal and especially to Mr Lannoye, the rapporteur, for his constructive work.
This is an important directive, as it would introduce a ban on the cleaning agent 'nonylphenol' that has been identified as posing unacceptable risks to the aquatic environment. It is a very far-reaching proposal, as it bans the marketing and use of nine different applications where the substance could be released into the aquatic environment. The proposed directive will therefore encourages the marketing and use of safer alternatives.
Furthermore, the proposal sets a strict limit for chromium -6 in cement, as chromium -6 has been shown to induce disabling and allergic eczema, especially among cement workers. In the EU each year, hundreds of new invalidity cases occur which cause high costs for the occupational insurance systems.
The proposed directive provides not only for the protection of human health and the environment, but also preserves the Internal Market, as it would introduce harmonised rules throughout the Community.
The negotiation procedure that is about to be concluded has benefited from the close cooperation between Parliament, Council and the Commission. I am very glad about this successful work together, and I hope that this important directive can now be finalised. I therefore agree to all the amendments proposed by Mr Lannoye for this compromise, so that this important directive can be finalised in first reading."@en1
