"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Mr Pronk on the constructive way in which this report came into being. It is vital to protect the safety of employees anywhere in Europe, or anywhere in the world, for that matter. It is regrettable that I did not get involved in this report until later because I was elected for the first time in July. As Mr Pronk indicated, they have been working on this since 1996.
Why did I say this? It is an excellent report and we give it our full backing, but it is regrettable that, in my opinion, the warning panel, in particular, is still rather unclear: a triangular panel with a red border and black letters spelling "EX". To someone like me, a layperson in the field of explosive atmospheres, this could mean anything. Is it a warning concerning my ex-partner who can be rather explosive? Are they explosives or whatever? I think it would be a good idea if the same panel, the same warning sign or pictogram, could be used as is used throughout the international world of transport. In fact, I also brought this to Committee, I even sent a letter questioning this very point. I received a reply, upon which I do not wish to elaborate. I do hope, however, that in the short term, the same warning panel will be used across the board."@en1
