The scientific advice both from the World Health Organization and from our own committee takes that into account. Fluoride can occur naturally. The water in the well in our own backyard, for example, had a very high concentration of fluoride. It can occur naturally to such an extent that you are recommended not to use it for your children because it could affect their teeth.
However, it is up to each Member State to set the rules, as long as they follow the recommendations and the limit values set in the directive. We have asked for scientific advice, which we follow very closely. We ensure that we are kept up to date with the latest scientific advice. As I said, as a result of the findings and the work done in the various working groups, and after calling together all the experts, we have no reason to change – at least for the time being – the recommendations on the limit values in the directive. If we receive new scientific evidence or see any reason to change, we will do so. Otherwise, however, you will have to try to influence Ireland on its policy on this issue because such policy is decided in each and every Member State."@en1
