lpv:translated text	". We abstained from the vote because the Commission and the Council gave way to pressure from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and the liberals and excluded solar radiation from the scope of this directive. This position is all the more appalling given that optical radiation is known to fall under the category of electromagnetic radiation, which mainly comprises direct light, infrared and ultraviolet rays, and laser rays. Solar radiation is composed of ultraviolet and infrared rays, and direct light. The effects of such radiation on people’s health are known to bring about changes to the immune system, and to cause skin diseases, eye diseases, cancers and psychological conditions. The quality of life of many millions of people in the EU working in farming, fishing and building, in open air salt works, quarries and mines, as well as in leisure activities, is adversely affected due to exposure to solar radiation in the course of their work. Accordingly, whilst we did not vote against this directive – containing, as it does, a number of significant improvements as regards artificial radiation – its scope is limited due to its omission of solar radiation."@en1
