"I would like to greet our rapporteur Mr Sacconi and congratulate him on his good work and his cogency during the numerous negotiations. The path that led to this result has been far from easy, but in the end everything we desired has successfully been achieved, by which I mean not only instruments for authorisation and substitution, but also, to a certain extent, compulsory registration. The legislative framework of REACH is one of the most substantial ever created by the European Union; it may even be one of the most voluminous of any debated in any parliament anywhere in the world. REACH serves a greater objective in Europe, and in the future will set a good example for the rest of the world. When one considers the Commission’s recommendation and the Council’s initial position, Parliament’s report has come a long way. What is, perhaps, most important is that the substitution process will come to include all dangerous substances that are prohibited or have a limited validity permit, with the obligation to plan substitution or, if that is not possible, to develop alternatives. The law’s achievements are the result of active work in Parliament over the last three and a half years. My own country, Estonia, was not one of the negotiators in the initial phase of the process, but I followed the process that led to the compromises with great interest, and so I would like to emphatically congratulate Parliament for the compromise that has been achieved, and say that I really do hope that the national parliaments will follow our example. I hope that the compromise package will be accepted at Wednesday’s vote in the same form which was agreed upon during the preliminary work. This would improve the quality of life of the citizens of Europe and serve as a stimulus for small and medium-sized enterprises to create jobs with new and high standards for environmental sustainability, which would make our industrial sector more innovative and competitive."@en1
