"In 2004, Parliament and the Council adopted Directive 2004/40/EC on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields), which should have been transposed into national law by the Member States by 30 April 2008. In 2007, the Commission proposed extending by four years the deadline for transposing the directive, until 30 April 2012. At the same time, it started a review process based on updated scientific evidence, principally regarding magnetic resonance imaging scanners. This decision has meant that a huge number of workers are deprived of workplace health and safety protection as regards electromagnetic fields. The Commission has now used an ‘emergency procedure’ to propose putting back the transposition of this directive by a further two years, to 30 April 2014. We believe there can be no further delays with measures that safeguard the health and safety of workers in this sector."@en1
