lpv:translated text	"Phosphorus helps life, algae and other forms of plant life to flourish, thereby causing eutrophication of the water. Phosphates are used in detergents to counteract hardness in water so as to allow efficient cleaning and enhance the detergents’ cleaning performance. Some Member States already have restrictions in place for household laundry detergents, with a few also introducing restrictions for ADW (automatic dishwashing machine) detergents. However, legislation is not harmonised at EU level, the internal market for detergents is fragmented, and problems are arising which the EU is tackling in an attempt to sign agreements with Member States on reducing the phosphorus content in household laundry and dishwasher detergents as part of the regional initiatives to clean up water, such as the HELCOM Baltic Sea action plan and the EU strategy for the Danube region. The inclusion of ADW detergents in the regulation may contribute not only to accelerating the campaign against eutrophication, but also to the loss of jobs in SMEs which make phosphate-rich ADW detergents and do not yet possess the knowledge and technologies required to make them phosphate-free. Since there are no statistics on the number of jobs at risk, I call on the Commission to devise a study for this purpose."@en1
