lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, first, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their comments. It will be clear to anybody listening to this debate just what differences there were between the groups and what a difficult process this has sometimes been. But we have the support of all the groups, and I very much hope and trust that in the vote on Wednesday, we will see that reflected. I am also very pleased to hear that the Commission is committed to this directive, since the future of the directive itself will lie almost entirely in the hands of the Commission should the text be adopted on Wednesday. We will have no further codecision powers and, in future, the Commission would review the scope and the future restrictions. So I would call on the Commission to prioritise that view of the future restrictions so that we can further clean up this very important waste stream, which still creates so many problems for human health and the environment. As we have heard colleagues saying tonight, prevention is better than cure and there are far more problem substances than those heavy metals and brominated flame retardants which are restricted under the current RoHS Directive. There is also plenty of evidence of the need for future restrictions. This debate has, of course, been followed with interest by a great many people, including industry and NGOs. I believe that in this final compromise. we have remained true to the original aims of RoHS, and that we will have a more effective piece of legislation should Parliament vote in favour on Wednesday."@en1
