"In my contribution, I would like to express my appreciation for the fine and undoubtedly demanding job performed by the rapporteur Mrs Doyle in preparing and debating the legislative proposal in question. I agree with her that we must do our utmost to protect the environment. We must give serious consideration to the ominous progression of global warming and recognise our responsibility also for the fate of future generations. To this end, we should strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a minimum. If there are substitutes for fluorinated industrial gases that offer more advantages in terms of environmental protection, energy efficiency or health and safety, we should not hesitate to replace such gases with the more environmentally friendly substances.
Let me stress, however, that this should apply only in those cases where a substitute is available. I believe that in the automotive industry, for instance, there will be no problem finding such substitutes by 2010. I would like to point out, however, that there are also plans to ban the use of sulphur hexafluoride SF6, which would have negative consequences for the treatment of cancer, since this substance is used in radiotherapy and no substitute is available. Should it be banned, many patients in Europe would lose a highly effective form of treatment."@en1
