lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am pleased that some of us decided to improve the European Commission’s proposal regarding the limited use of phosphorus compounds in detergents so that it also includes dishwasher detergents. We managed to get this through, even in the face of all those who did not believe that we would. Some countries, including my own, have already gone ahead and introduced what, in practice, amounts to a ban on phosphates in both laundry detergents and dishwasher detergents. This is working extremely well. The rest of the EU is now following suit, and this of course will make an important contribution to reducing eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, for example. However, other water bodies and environments within the EU will also benefit from this legislation, as will the industry, which will have one common piece of legislation to follow instead of 27 different ones. Our group would have preferred the levels to have been even lower and the entry into force to have been sooner, but we view the compromise that we have agreed with the Council as a major success. This legislation is a simple and effective contribution to reducing eutrophication. However, as has already been mentioned here this evening, the biggest contribution to eutrophication comes, of course, from agriculture. We definitely need to take more measures in this area. There are ways of reducing emissions, even from agriculture. Finally, I would, naturally, like to thank everyone involved, particularly the rapporteur and shadow rapporteurs, for their excellent work."@en1
