"Mr President, I welcome this report and some of those we have seen going through Parliament in the last few months. Indeed, I welcome Mrs Schörling's report that we will be voting on in the plenary session in Strasbourg in a couple of weeks' time. We are laying down a solid body of work, a solid body of information and some very important precedents as we move towards the setting up and launching of the new chemicals policy that we expect to come from the Commission very soon.
What is becoming clear to us all is quite simply that present analysis of chemicals and the present chemicals on the market are not satisfactory. In the case of many chemicals on the market at the moment, we quite simply do not know how dangerous or how safe they are. We need a new system. We welcome the new system that is coming and, if you like, in the very dying moments of the old system, I have to say I can remember more of these amendments to the original directive than I care to remember, although I have not been here quite long enough to remember the original directive, and I have always found that we have not been sufficiently consistent in what we have done. I would agree with some of the remarks made by Mrs Schörling. We need a new chemicals policy. We are waiting for the new chemicals policy, Commission – where is it?"@en1
