".
I voted in favour of this text.
Chemicals are present everywhere, and the recent increase in certain types of cancer or leukaemia has to make us question the use of certain chemicals.
I wanted to approach this text from the angle of public health and environmental protection. A powerful REACH system is at least some guarantee for all our people.
It is right, however, in this text, to safeguard the competitiveness of our enterprises and to avoid all stifling bureaucratic procedures. In the same way, it is important to exclude all natural substances from this system. On the other hand, I was in favour of the amendment calling for the chemicals involved in the making of cigarettes to be subject to the rules of the system put in place.
The desired balance, apart from all emotional considerations, accompanied by the creation of a strong and independent European agency, should make it possible for us to achieve these important objectives for our health, our environment, and also for our industry.
Moreover, I strongly urge that all products imported into the European Union should also be subject to these Community rules."@en1
