".
I welcome this proposal for a directive, which falls under the heading of measures to improve the working environment and is intended to protect the health and safety of each worker individually as well as to form part of a bedrock of minimum protection designed to avert possible distortions of competition.
The ‘more and better jobs’ element of the Lisbon Strategy requires the EU to draw up and establish stringent demands with regard to the quality of working conditions across EU territory, which entails improving the dignity of labour and the quality of life of our citizens.
Lastly, as I said in my explanation of vote on Mr Gargani’s report, on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens and mutagens at work (2 September 2003), we must eliminate dangers that are so often hidden, such as those addressed in this report. In other words, prevention is much better than cure and is, similarly, much better than compensation. I therefore endorse Mr Alvarez’s final suggestion, which states that it would be desirable to reinstate the right to a medical examination in the event of overexposure – as proposed by Parliament – and to strengthen the prevention system set up by the directive."@en1
