"We are going to change the order because Mr Lund needs to leave the Chamber urgently.
Question No 49 by Torben Lund ():
The Danish newspaper Politiken reported on 15 November 2001 that the EU was to raise limit values to allow more heavy metal in fish despite a recommendation from an EU committee of experts that stricter standards should be introduced.
Mercury, lead and cadmium, which are found in shellfish for which there is high demand, can, for example, weaken the nervous system and cause other very serious diseases in humans. There are absolutely no grounds for raising these limit values. Will the Commission therefore say why these limit values are to be raised, on which studies any increase may be based, and which studies are opposed to any increase?
I would also point out in this connection that the population of Denmark has long been encouraged to eat more fish as it promotes the general level of public health. Unfortunately, these endeavours will now be to no avail if, at the same time, the EU intends to raise the limit values for noxious heavy metals in fish."@en1
