"It is true that some steps have been made towards making toys safe. Nonetheless, we believe that these steps could have been much larger. We do not understand how substances such as lead, mercury or cadmium can still be found in toys. We have missed an opportunity to ban those substances, which will continue to accumulate in the little bodies of Europe’s children and cause numerous health problems. In addition, we should also like to point out another problem with this directive, which does not lay down decibel limits for the noise made by toys. Noise is a significant pollutant that affects both children and adults, and many toys make too much noise. I call on the Commission and the Council to take a stand on this issue and to agree to present Parliament with some noise limits as soon as possible, because noise affects our children’s bodies as well."@en1
