"I voted for this report because I believe that the provisions thereof will better protect public health, the environment and even the economy than those of the Commission proposal. I believe we should not facilitate the export of banned or severely restricted chemicals from the European Union to third countries. I was therefore unable to vote for widening the possibility of waivers in this regard. Failure to respond to an export request could be due to a number of factors, such as a weak administration, economic frailty or the belief that the case is covered by the general law. Lack of response cannot, therefore, be taken as acceptance of imports of these chemicals. The EU’s role should not be that of facilitating the export of banned chemicals from European territory to third countries with weaker chemicals legislation or administrations. The EU should be committed to safeguarding public health and the environment, rather than the profits of European manufacturers of chemicals banned in the EU."@en1
