"Madam President, so here we are: a new directive to combat air pollution. We all want clean air. I am from an area of the West Midlands of England called the Black Country and the reason it was called that was because during more industrial times the air was black with smog and many people in my area died from air pollution, so I understand entirely the requirement for cleaner air. Over the years, that has no longer been an issue because deindustrialisation unfortunately means we have less production, but also the British Government has taken measures to clean the air.
I do not believe that, as the UK, we need to be subject to an EU regulation and more rules on this kind of thing. I believe we can handle this ourselves. But I do believe that whoever handles this must be extremely cautious and careful that they do not take measures which make life even harder than it is now for industry, manufacturing and output. Our economies cannot take more self-inflicted punishment, so I urge caution and I state that the UK can do this on its own."@en1
