"In today’s vote, I endorsed the report on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Recently, we have been able to see the significance of the problem addressed by the legislation we have adopted, as several million households around the European Union have exchanged their CRT television sets for modern LCD screens. Today, those same households are thinking about changing their LCD televisions for LCD-LED ones.
The experts say that used electrical and electronic equipment is becoming the fastest growing source of waste. In addition, analyses carried out by the research institute
have demonstrated the adverse effect of PVC and halogenated flame retardants on the environment and human health. I am sure the document adopted today will contribute to a reduction in the amounts of hazardous substances of this kind."@en1
