This proposal aims to restrict access by members of the public to high-risk chemicals which can be misused to produce home-made explosives. The proposal seeks to reduce the frequency and impact of terrorist attacks by limiting access to raw materials and reporting suspicious transactions of substances that, in high concentrations, can also be used to manufacture explosives. To that end, the proposal forbids the sale to the general public of certain chemicals above the concentration limits set. Sales of substances with higher concentrations will be permitted only to users who can provide documentary evidence that they have a legitimate need to use the chemicals. The report also proposes, as regards sales of those chemicals and mixtures thereof, a series of obligations, in particular on the subject of reporting suspicious transactions. The Annex to the Regulation clearly distinguishes between substances and the maximum concentration limits for those substances. This proposal is in line with the objectives of EU policies laid down for the EU’s Counter-terrorism Strategy, with the EU’s Action Plan on Enhancing the Security of Explosives and with the Stockholm Programme – An open and secure Europe serving and protecting citizens. I therefore voted in favour of this report."@en1
