lpv:spoken text	". – Mr President, it is not a question of the Commission in any sense being complacent, either politically – because it is responsible to the public – or indeed scientifically. The points that I made in my earlier response related to the natural concentrations of uranium in sea-water of all descriptions and in all locations. On the basis of that scientific reality the feeling of the Commission and all other scientifically advised persons and bodies is that the evidence of uranium deposit in sea-water is such that the firing of shells for target purposes in the marine environment does not make any significant addition to uranium concentrations. It is only on the basis of that widely accepted and well-documented scientific evidence that the Commission takes its view. In addition, I did draw attention in my first answer to the strong distinction that has to be made between possible consequences of the use of depleted uranium material and munitions in a land environment where the oxides can be inhaled, and in a maritime environment where the consequences of the use of depleted uranium do not have the same consequences, since obviously no inhalation can take place."@en1
