"Around 4 000 deaths every year in the UK are due to asbestos related illnesses, making it the country’s single biggest cause of work-related death. This issue has been a priority for Socialist and Democrat MEPs, as well as trade unions, for many years. I was therefore pleased to support this own initiative report, drafted by my Labour colleague, Stephen Hughes, which calls for the removal of asbestos from all public buildings in the EU by 2028. The report also calls for the development of an EU-wide model for screening and registration of asbestos and a roadmap for its removal, as well as for training to be provided for workers whose work may involve dealing with asbestos. It is not just workers in Europe, but all over the world, who have a right to work in safe and healthy environments, which is why the report also calls for the EU to work for a global ban on asbestos and to tackle the dumping of asbestos on developing countries."@en1
