lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, like my colleague, Mrs Thorning-Schmidt, I was looking forward to a midnight speaking slot, as this is a health and safety issue! It is quite symbolic that we are speaking about this matter at a reasonable time because it goes so much further than just health and safety. This morning in the United Kingdom, in our flagship news programme unusually the question of asbestos was raised at another reasonable hour. It was raised because of the matter that Mrs Thorning-Schmidt raised, namely the implementation of this directive. So effective has the work been on this particular directive and matter, and so effective is the way the debate has gone and the agreement between the political groups that Member States are now looking carefully at the way we implement the directive. This morning the Health and Safety Executive set out for the United Kingdom exactly how this directive would be implemented, the way that even small- and medium-size enterprises would find a way through this health and safety legislation. It is important; it has huge agreement, but we must also understand the real dangers. Not only will the Member States start to implement this – and we must monitor it carefully – but candidate countries are using asbestos at a level we can only estimate, but it is quite a dangerous level. So we must set the tone through implementation of this directive, pay tribute to the way Parliament has discussed this and ensure that we in the EU Member States and the candidate countries make something of this directive to reflect the level of debate in this House."@en1
