"Mr President, phosphates in domestic washing machine detergents end up in our water systems, rivers, streams and lakes.
Phosphorus helps life to flourish and, as a result, algae and other fast-developing plant life proliferate uncontrollably when there is an increased source of phosphorus in water. This excessive growth of algae starves other living organisms of oxygen and can also produce toxins – killing fish, plants, and other species, thereby reducing the quality of the water itself.
I therefore voted in favour of the text put before us today because to clean up Europe’s water, it is desirable to reduce the amount of phosphorus reaching the water of our continent."@en1
