". Mr President, I thank the rapporteur for his cooperation and indeed Members from other political groups as well. We have achieved several very good compromises. My group will support the report. I should like to say in a personal capacity that it is wrong to include references to the working time and services directives in paragraphs 27 and 29, because it still has to go through the parliamentary process. While I am pleased that the reference to women and domestic work in the home in paragraph 16 has been removed to get away from gender stereotypes, which I know the rapporteur did not intend, my group has asked for a separate vote as paragraph 16 no longer makes sense as it refers both to men and women. The reference to gender mainstreaming in paragraph 14 is welcomed by my group. I am delighted that we got all-party support for inclusion in paragraph 21 of a reference to injuries caused by needles and other medical sharps to health workers. I thank everybody for their support on that. This affects one million health workers across the EU. I hope that the Commission will take that on board. I should like to thank Commissioner Špidla very much for the constructive meeting we had this afternoon on this subject. I am also pleased that the implementation of directives has been mentioned. There is no point in bringing forward completely new health and safety legislation unless current legislation is equally implemented in all Member States. If new legislation is brought forward it has to be subject to comprehensive impact assessments based on up-to-date scientific and medical evidence. That is the only way that new health and safety legislation should be brought forward."@en1
