lpv:translated text	". Mr President, although mercury and the compounds produced by it, in particular methyl mercury, are highly toxic, banning the sale of mercury thermometers, including specialised thermometers and other measuring devices with just an eighteen-month transition period is excessive and unreasonable, particularly for Poland and other countries where mercury thermometers are universally used not only in hospitals but for basic home diagnosis. Such a short transition period may have negative effects by compromising diagnosis, with the attendant health risks, and may impose additional financial strains on hospitals and household budgets, especially those of the less well off. In Poland we have a saying, ‘when man hurries, the devil smiles’. Evidently the devil wants to get rich selling electronic measuring devices, while speaking fine words about people’s health. We are in favour of a longer transition period."@en1
