"I voted for the report on amending Directive 2004/40/EC on minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields). In 2011, the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive replacing Directive 2004/40/EC. The purpose of the new directive is to provide a high level of protection for workers’ health and safety, while making it possible to continue and develop medical and industrial activities that use electromagnetic fields. Proposalis intended to update and improve a considerable number of provisions in Directive 2004/40/EC, including by introducing mechanisms which make it easier for employers, especially small enterprises, to implement the measures. The amendment tabled by the Commission throughonly affects the Member States’ obligation to transpose Directive 2004/40/EC by 30 April 2012, with the deadline being extended until 31 October 2013. The amendment does not affect the substance of the directive in question, thereby avoiding additional obligations being imposed on businesses. Extending the transposition deadline to 31 October 2013 will give Parliament and the Council sufficient time to have a debate and reach a compromise, based on Commission proposal, on a new directive, which will update and enhance the provisions of Directive 2004/40/EC, while repealing and replacing the previous directive."@en1
