lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, we voted against this report as British Conservatives because although we are in favour of much of what is in the report – we are particularly pleased to see that classic and vintage vehicles will be exempted – we are concerned about the principle of substitution. This means that a product could be banned if another product that is safer or more environmentally benign is proven to be so. The problem is that sometimes these judgments are marginal. Also, it is a big threat to research and development. Companies will not bring products to the market if they think that at the stroke of a pen their product will be removed from the market. Lastly, it is very dangerous for consumers, as it will create a monopoly situation in the product market with subsequent price increases. We voted against to register our displeasure about this particular aspect and this is something that we will also need to fight a big battle on when it comes to the forthcoming Chemicals Directive."@en1
