"Mr President, I think the case for this legislation is compelling. The Commissioner said that there are alternatives to mercury barometers and I therefore support everything my colleague Mrs Sornosa Martínez has said.
Mercury is extremely toxic. It is bioaccumulative and persistent in the environment and there is no safe exposure level. I ask the PPE-DE Group to think again. To Mr Callanan and the Conservatives I say that at your party conference your leader said that you want to replace dangerous chemicals with safe ones. The Tory Party website says that you are going to do that. You have to
to change things and not just say you are going to do so. I hope that the PPE-DE Group will support this very sensible measure to phase out an extremely dangerous chemical from our environment.
We have given a two-year extension to companies to phase out their production. That is not what the Council wanted, but we have 25 governments here, experts from 25 countries, the European Commission and the majority of political groups, and I hope that the House will support the report and be consistent with the principle of substitution of dangerous chemicals."@en1
