lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO Committee) on this subject, I have been intent on finding a balance between the needs of all the concerned parties. I, of course, am referring to consumers and the environment, but also to the requirements of industries linked to the various detergents. The compromise that the rapporteur, Mr Newton Dunn, has achieved strikes this balance. Indeed, it was essential to postpone the phosphates limit for dishwasher detergents, as how could the removal of all phosphates be beneficial when it would cause people to have to run the dishwasher twice or even increase the water temperature? Excessive consumption or overheating of water is bad for the environment and for the consumer’s wallet; therefore, we must wait until we have found effective alternatives to phosphates. Nevertheless, it is regrettable that the IMCO Committee’s opinions on the greenwashing ban and on labelling promoting the sustainable use of detergents have not been taken into account. It would have been beneficial to further raise consumer awareness with regard to the sustainable use of detergents in daily life, because there are still too many bad habits causing environmental damage."@en1
