As I have said on so many other occasions, I support measures that make an effective and active contribution to raising environmental quality standards. This proposal seeks to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are chemical substances that remain in the environment, accumulate in living organisms through the trophic network – a complex networked interaction of the food chains – and therefore risk having harmful and particularly prolonged effects on human health and the environment. These pollutants are transported far from their source, cross international borders and can even affect regions in which they have never been used or produced.
These proposals address the integration of these two international agreements into the Community legal framework. As regards the Stockholm Convention, on the basis of its signing by the European Union and all its Member States on 22 May 2001.
This warrants my full support."@en1
