lpv:spoken text	"A Lancet report published in the UK last week highlighted the dangers of toxic chemicals for the health of the unborn and young children. Mercury is extremely toxic, bioaccumulative and persistent in the environment. There are no safe exposure levels and yet mercury is getting into our waste stream from discarded household products containing mercury. That is why Labour MEPs agree with the 25 EU governments and the Commission that mercury should be phased out in all but essential uses. We are opposed to a permanent exemption for mercury barometers because substitutes are available, but we proposed and will support a longer, two-year phase-out period for mercury barometers to allow industry to adapt to the new law."@en1
