lpv:spoken text	"I supported this report and I am happy that it got the support of the Parliament. Food contact materials (FCMs) are largely used in everyday life in the form of food packaging, kitchen utensils, tableware, etc. However, when in contact with food, and depending on their composition and properties, the different materials may behave differently, transferring their constituents to the food. In such cases, chemicals emanating from FCMs may endanger human health or adversely change the composition of the foodstuffs. The report points to the fact that the level of enforcement of the legislation on FCMs differs widely throughout the EU and highlights the importance of developing EU guidelines for FCMs which would facilitate a more uniform implementation and better enforcement in the Member States. Thankfully, the report also calls on the Commission to ensure better coordination between REACH and FCM legislation, especially as regards substances classified as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) under REACH, and to ensure that harmful substances already phased out under REACH are also phased out in FCMs."@en1
