lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, across Europe barometer manufacturing has been part of our heritage for many centuries. It often involves the recycling of mercury from old instruments. The environmental and health threat posed is, I would suggest, so miniscule as to be out of all proportion to the devastating ban which this directive would impose on future production of barometers. It would kill off an historic skill in return for no meaningful gain. Thus I strongly support Amendment 19 to exempt barometer manufacturers from the ambit of this directive. Seeking to include barometers epitomises in a way the fanatical and irrational dogma that all too often drives and brings ridicule to otherwise sensible Commission proposals. I trust that in the name of common sense we will say no to the ban on the production of barometers."@en1
