"Madam President, it is clear that ionising radiation incidental to commercial, medical and other day-to-day activities must be carefully controlled. I think the utmost protection to ensure the lowest possible risk of negative health effects, particularly to workers, must be maintained.
On that basis, I think it is sensible to revisit this legislation and associated procedures periodically to ensure that they are in keeping with the best scientific evidence available and to consider the experience of implementation in the different Member States. We must also ensure that the procedures and protections are simple and easy to understand and implement. We need to cut red tape in the area, where possible, and maintain efficiency in working environments where exposure to ionising radiation could occur. I think that consolidating a number of pieces of legislation into a single piece of legislation fits the bill in this respect.
This is also why I proposed my own amendments on the licensing of those organisations that use these procedures on a regular basis, to ensure that they would not need to seek authorisation every single time they needed to use these procedures. I think that is again cutting red tape in this respect.
I would also like to say that I completely agree with the Commissioner on the issue of frequent flyers. I think this is bureaucracy going too far, and I do not think it is practicable. Overall, I think it is crucial that we achieve best practice and high standards of work and protection to minimise the dangers arising from exposure to these different forms of ionising radiation."@en1
