I support the need to implement an action plan to evaluate and promote the environment and health with the focus on children.
The strategy governing this initiative, better known as SCALE – Science, Children, Awareness, Legal instruments, Evaluation – aims at implementing a transversal approach to this subject. This is a matter of increasing concern to Europe’s citizens, above all because of the constant increase in four types of disease: respiratory diseases, asthma and childhood allergies; neurodevelopmental disorders; childhood cancer; and endocrine-disrupting effects.
In view of the situation, I endorse the intention to speed up and improve information exchange and communication procedures so that the actual causal relations between types of pollution and health can be made known more quickly and on a sounder basis.
The rapporteur invokes the precautionary principle to deny the need for absolute scientific proof that a particular product is dangerous before it is withdrawn from the market. While I may even agree with the idea, I would, however, draw attention to the fact that interpretation of this principle by Community courts has been uneven and not always consistent, and it therefore really needs to be clarified."@en1
