lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the Thyssen report and was pleased to do so, even though procedural matters almost got in the way of the final vote. Safe toys are a must and the EU should and is leading the way when it comes to safety concerns. The total ban on the use of chemical substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction is essential. Even though there is a provision for exceptions on a case-by-case basis, this should only be on the strict advice of the European Scientific Committee. It is also appropriate that allergenic fragrances be banned and 55 such substances will now be removed from toys. Likewise very strict rules as regards heavy metals, with maximum levels imposed. Parents buying toys this Christmas have a presumption of safety. This revised toy safety directive will improve the situation greatly, would that it were already in place for this Christmas season."@en1
