lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report, which seeks to reduce the amount of phosphates used mainly in detergents in domestic washing machines. Indeed, phosphates damage the already delicate and precarious balance in our ecosystem. These substances end up in our water systems, rivers, lakes and streams, helping living organisms, such as algae, to flourish, a process leading to eutrophication, which starves other living organisms of oxygen. This phenomenon produces toxins, partly responsible for killing various species of fish. However, there cannot be a total ban on phosphates, since many come from humans. Nevertheless, their use can be reduced, for example, by including a smaller amount in domestic laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing machine detergents. Moreover, I support the proposal to encourage the use of alternative detergents containing minimum levels of phosphates which already occupy a broad and growing share of the EU market by means of harmonised legislation which will encourage third countries to reduce the level of phosphorus in water, with a view to a future agreement."@en1
