"Madam President, how many men does it take to change a light bulb? In one English council, tenants must send for council staff, who may not use ladders, only scaffolding. That is three people: one holds the rigging, one changes the bulb and one supervises.
That is the crazy English, but I do have better examples. At a meeting six years ago, I was astonished to hear of the number of young people injured at work. The independent body – unconnected with the EU – which had called the meeting suggested a range of safe practices which they claimed had reduced these figures – without legislation.
As I have said before, good ideas always spread, and a Latvian took these documents to use locally. But the EU legislates; we do it every day. Why – if good results can be achieved by unbiased advice from non-political sources? So I ask that elements of this draft report, such as simplifying existing legislation, implementing national strategies and adjusting to the context of Member States, carry through to the final, advisory version. Voluntary systems are always best: no infringement proceedings."@en1
