"Mr President, I believe strongly in free market forces. In order for markets to survive, they must develop and advance their products in line with environmental targets.
In the case of laundry detergents, industry has led the way, with almost all washing powders and liquids already free from phosphates. Whilst I support this directive, I hold concerns on the addition of proposals to include dishwasher detergents. The chemicals used in dishwasher detergents are very different to the laundry detergents. However, small traces of phosphates will still be permitted in dishwasher detergents, with a honeymoon period until 2017.
Whilst we all agree that phosphates would ideally not be included, let me sound a warning. The environmental and health impacts of the new chemicals that will be needed to replace phosphates in dishwasher detergents are not yet fully assessed. We must therefore remain open and flexible until the science catches up with the political will."@en1
