lpv:translated text	"Madam President, on behalf of the Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities, I should like to congratulate Mr Nobilia, the rapporteur, on the compromise reached with the Council. With regard to the assessment of detergents, this legislation takes the environmental and health effects sufficiently into consideration. Agreement has been reached on exemptions, phosphates and labelling, and I have shown my support by co-signing the compromise amendments. Particularly with regard to phosphates, it is to be welcomed that Member States can ban these, as a few have already done. A ban on phosphates also has the positive effect that it limits the spreading of harmful cadmium into the environment, since cadmium is released when phosphates are extracted. The recent conclusion reached by the scientific committee on toxicology, ecotoxicology and the environment, however, has sparked a reconsideration of an EU-wide ban on phosphates. The scientific committee has demonstrated the harmful environmental effects of phosphates and rubberstamped the alternatives. I should like to hear the Commissioner's opinion on this. Finally, I am pleased that agreement has been reached on labelling. It should be enough to display simple texts on products approved following thorough evaluation. If consumers are curious to know more, they should consult the manufacturers via their websites and telephone."@en1
