lpv:translated text	"The purpose of this proposal for a regulation is to reduce the amount of phosphorus used in detergents in domestic washing machines and to harmonise better the various national regulations. Phosphates end up in our water systems, rivers, streams, lakes and, particularly, in the Danube Basin and Baltic Sea. Phosphorus from household laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing machine (ADW) detergents make a significant contribution to the direct presence of phosphorus in water channels, thereby causing eutrophication. I welcome the broad acceptance that the maximum amount of phosphorus in household laundry detergents should be set at 0.5 g per dose for a standard wash load. Expressing this limit in grams per load rather than as a percentage by weight, as initially proposed by the Commission, will allow laundry detergent manufacturers to produce more compact, concentrated formulas, which will not contain any greater amount of phosphorus than 0.5% by weight of a current ‘standard dose’, but where the phosphorus (from phosphonates) could form more than 0.5% of the total weight. Likewise, as regards the inclusion of household ADW detergents in the proposal, the limit should be set at 0.5% by weight."@en1
