"Parliament has drawn up two reports on the protection of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields. The first report relates to the revision of Directive 2004/40/EC, which lays down maximum values for the exposure of workers to electromagnetic fields. The second report, which we adopted today, relates to the postponement of the transposition deadline for that directive. The aim is to postpone the deadline from 30 April 2012 to 31 October 2013 so that the directive can be properly revised. The 2004 directive has not been transposed in all of the Member States because the maximum exposure values are disproportionate and would have placed excessive limitations on the use and development of medical magnetic resonance applications, such as MR. MR is considered to be a vital tool for the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases. The report by Elisabeth Morin-Chartier was adopted with 610 votes in favour and I am pleased about that. As rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, I call on the Member States to give consideration to the impasse in which the medical community could find itself if MR technologies were not given an exemption from the exposure limit values recommended by the Commission in its proposal for a directive."@en1
