"Household agents such as dishwasher or laundry detergents contain phosphorus. This substance softens the water, thus enabling more efficient cleaning. However, phosphorus can have enormous detrimental effects if it ends up in our inland water bodies, such as rivers and lakes. The situation is particularly serious in the Danube Basin. The problem is that phosphorus promotes the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which, in turn, results in the removal of essential oxygen from the water that is needed by fish and other animals in order to survive. In the medium and long term, many fish species and aquatic organisms are threatened with extinction as a result of the pollution of the water with phosphorus and the ecological balance in the water bodies will be disrupted. The present proposal aims to reduce the amount of phosphorus in household agents, which should, in any case, include dishwasher detergents. I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
