"The compromise that will be put to the vote tomorrow marks a significant step in the fight against terrorism because it restricts access by the general public to products that can be used as precursors in the manufacture of home-made explosives. Indeed, the regulation identifies the dangerous substances, listed in the annexes, which will be banned to the public beyond specified concentration levels. We want to do our utmost to prevent persons with malicious intentions from having access to these substances. Nonetheless, the framework to be adopted allows some flexibility for normal use of the products concerned, thanks to the exceptions it incorporates. That is why there is provision for the Member States to permit persons who obtain a licence from their relevant authorities to buy such products. Another, more flexible type of control is also envisaged for three products used by the general public as fertiliser or swimming pool cleaner. Finally, retailers will have to notify the competent authorities of any suspicious transactions. These provisions will enhance the safety of European citizens as a result of better monitoring of the purchase, use and possession of explosives precursors on EU territory."@en1
