"Phosphates are used essentially to improve the effectiveness of washing. They are largely responsible, with nitrates, for the growth of algae and the phenomena of green and red ‘tides’. I am delighted that the revision of the regulation which limits by a considerable extent the use of phosphates and phosphorus compounds in detergents has been adopted by a large majority. Even though this has already been the case in France since 2007, I am very happy that the prohibition of phosphates in household laundry detergents in the EU is being extended to all Member States from January 2013. This is a dual victory because, under pressure from the European Parliament, the Member States have extended the phosphates ban to include dishwasher detergents. Let me remind you that in France, there are 20 million washes a day and that 88 kg of household detergents are used annually by every French household."@en1
