I congratulate Mr Lisi on his excellent report.
The high level of public health protection to which the European Union aspires means that great care must be taken when placing on the market and/or distributing products containing substances that are hazardous to human health. On the other hand, the commitments to sustainable development, the introduction of national emission ceilings and the adoption of ‘cross-compliance’ ideas (aiming at greater environmental awareness by industry) are furthered by this type of proposal. I particularly welcome the fact that representatives of the industries affected have been following the progress of this dossier, handled so well by Mr Lisi, an essential arrangement if we want operators to be fully aware, to take part and to accept their responsibilities – after all, the proposal may affect some 50 000 plants in the Community. I also agree with the proposed two-stage approach to reduce the volatile organic compound (VOC) content in decorative paints and varnishes covered by the directive, so as to leave the sectors affected enough time to adapt. It was also a positive step, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, to allow the Member States to establish and implement their own market control mechanisms. Parliament’s adoption of certain excessive amendments contrary to the rapporteur’s views led me, however, to abstain in the final vote, although I voted for the legislative resolution."@en1
