".
The report before us raises a general point that has, in itself, influenced my vote. Whenever we speak about health and safety at work we immediately think of how far we have come since the beginning of the industrialisation process. This unavoidable thought process illustrates that, as far as this issue is concerned, what is acceptable today will fall short of what is required tomorrow. In other words, we are increasingly demanding and, with regard to this issue, that is a sign of significant progress. That is the first consideration.
Although I do not agree entirely with some of the points made in the report, and whilst I would change the order of priorities in some cases, I welcome the thrust of its content, because its guiding principles are close to mine on this issue. Indeed, bearing the above in mind, I believe that the defence of health and safety at work is a prerequisite to the kind of civilisation that we must promote, and, moreover, amounts to an obligation on the part of employers, because businesses also have social obligations. In addition, the better the conditions at work, the greater the productivity, the better the quality of work and the lower the losses incurred, both individually and collectively. Consequently, I voted in favour."@en1
