lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, common sense seems to have abandoned the PPE-DE Group and the Liberals on this issue. The controversy has focused on a single section relating to a requirement to provide information to workers about cancer risks. The media, of course, have had a field day, fed by people who should know better, like Ms Lynne. I have heard no-one here today deny that overexposure to sunlight is dangerous and can be deadly, yet we have these games being played. The right – both Europhiles and Europhobes – have used this issue as a wedge in their campaign to renationalise health and safety regulations, ignoring the fact that, in an open, competitive economy, if you do not have European regulation, you will have no regulation. That would inevitably lead to protectionism, which is already raising its ugly head following the French and Dutch referendums. Provision of information on cancer risks to outdoor workers is not a burden on employers; it is an investment in a healthy workforce."@en1
