lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today, we are debating the vitamin directive at second reading. I must say that I am pro-European and in favour of harmonisation, but not in this manner. I am pleased that the majority of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy are willing to grant producers of vitamin tables 36 months instead of 18 months in order to prove that their products are safe. While this is not a problem for large pharmaceutical producers, it does cause problems for small businesses, especially financially. In principle, it is wrong that they should have to prove that their products are safe while these may have been on the Dutch, British and Irish markets for dozens of years. I am in favour of proving the safety of new vitamin tablets, but not of the old tablets. The Commission, the majority of the Council and Mrs Roth-Behrendt are saying, in fact, that all the old tablets are unsafe. This is why I shall be voting for rejection of the common position."@en1
