lpv:spoken text	"You do not wait for an aeroplane to crash before you test it for safety, and neither should we for chemicals in household products. This new legislation will require manufacturers to prove chemicals are safe before they are used, ensure that the most dangerous chemicals are replaced with safer alternatives, and introduce a right to know about the health rules of chemicals in products we use. Only 143 chemicals have been subject to official controls in the last thirteen years, yet this new EU law at a stroke introduces a comprehensive system of regulation for all 30,000 chemicals on the European Market. The Women's Institute, including representatives I met with this week from Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds, said we should put the environment and consumer safety first, and I am deeply proud that the European Parliament as a whole has been persuaded by their campaign."@en1
