lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the intention here is to take action to prevent harm to children and who could disagree with such sentiments? Very few politicians will wish to speak out against such proposals, for fear that their words may be misinterpreted, but there is some concern that the link between the use of phthalates in toys and a risk to children has not been firmly established. Phthalates are dangerous chemicals. So are pesticides, but we still eat food containing them every day. Our actions here are guided by the precautionary principle and on balance I accept that its use is appropriate. None of us want harm to come to children. However, some of my colleagues feel this is the wrong judgement. They argue that the precautionary principle is being applied more on emotional than on scientific grounds, that harmful links have not been indisputably established and that this is an inappropriate basis for making legislation."@en1
