"After the entry into force of Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields), serious concerns were expressed by stakeholders, in particular in the medical community, about the impact of transposition of that directive on the use of medical procedures based on medical imaging. They also expressed concerns as to the impact of the directive on certain industrial activities. The Commission examined the arguments put forward by stakeholders and decided to reconsider some provisions of Directive 2004/40/EC on the basis of new scientific evidence. On 14 June 2011, the Commission adopted a proposal for a new directive to replace the original directive. The new directive should ensure both a high level of health and safety protection for workers and the continuation and development of medical and other industrial activities using electromagnetic fields. In view of the very short period of time left before the deadline set for transposition of 30 April 2012, I firmly believe that it must be ensured that this directive is adopted by the European Parliament and the Council as a matter of urgency and that it enters into force without delay."@en1
