"Given the concerns expressed by stakeholders, I am in favour of postponing the deadline for the transposition of Directive 2004/40/EC on minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) by two years in order to undertake a more thorough evaluation of the subject to arrive at a more considered definition of exposure limits. Whereas, on the one hand, it is certainly necessary to ensure worker safety in the sectors involved, it is fundamental, on the other hand, not to impose excessive and unjustified restrictions on the use of technology, especially in the health sector, where imposing disproportionately low exposure limits would have direct repercussions on patients’ rights by restricting the medical practitioner’s ability to use magnetic resonance technologies. I believe that the entry into force of the directive in question without sufficient evaluation could lead to its non-transposition by Member States and the inevitable infringement procedures. In order to avoid this disagreeable situation, I believe it is therefore necessary to delay this directive’s entry into force."@en1
