Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should first like to thank the Council and Parliament, on the Commission’s behalf, for their endeavours in this area. I also wish to express my appreciation for their rapid conclusion of an agreement on an issue as difficult as optical radiation. This is the fourth and final part of the proposed Directive on the exposure of workers to risks arising from physical factors. The adoption of this new Directive, the provisions of which are based on the latest scientific reports, will make it possible to guarantee greater safety and health protection for all workers exposed in the workplace to artificial optical radiation. The Commission is pleased that this directive complies entirely with the
in the area of protecting the health and safety of workers whilst ensuring the flexibility and proportionality required for businesses to be competitive. The directive on which we have agreed forms part of moves to improve legislation which, on the one hand, ensures that businesses are not disproportionately or unnecessarily overloaded and, on the other hand, complies with Article 137 of the Treaty, on protecting workers’ health and safety. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that, come what may, the text is well balanced, meets the requirements for health and safety work and maintains the required balance in relation to business competitiveness."@en1
