lpv:translated text	". What the world witnessed today is that it is easy to mislead a democratically elected parliament. All it takes is a few half-truths and total falsehoods. This House has shown the world that whoever shouts the loudest eventually wins the argument. Profits in the chemical industry in Belgium alone amounted to EUR 1.7 billion last year. That figure will be affected more by the high oil price and the low dollar than by the introduction of REACH in whatever form. Not so long ago, Europeans contentedly patted each other on the back for the progressive environmental policy that they pursued. We were the pioneers in the world, or so we thought. Those days are over. This watered down version of REACH shows how things should not be done. The White Paper that preceded REACH gave the chemical industry full responsibility. They had to be able to prove that the products, from which they derive their profits, do not entail unacceptable risks for health and the environment. So many back doors have since been created that it is difficult to locate the main entrance. This REACH is a missed opportunity and one that will probably not come round again."@en1
