"Mr President, first of all, I would like to compliment the rapporteur, the shadow rapporteur and my colleague, Ms Klaß, for their good work in this regard.
I must say that I thought that the rapporteur, Mr Newton Dunn, gave a fascinating account of this whole topic. I enjoyed it and learned a lot from him. We all want to save the planet and obviously the quality of water is of immense importance to us. From my observations in my country, the quality of water has improved immensely over the last number of years, largely due to European Union policies, especially in relation to the use of fertilisers. In this regard, I think there is a challenge here for us to come up with phosphate-free formulations for dishwashers and washing machines, both in terms of domestic use, but also industrial use.
As Ms Klaß said, the quality of water varies – the hardness and the softness – right throughout the European Union. We are creating an opportunity for people to develop these products, but also creating a market by having deadlines by which they have to be introduced. I think that is a very important point."@en1
