lpv:translated text	". The presence of softeners in plastic toys has, over the past seven years, been the subject of intense and emotional debates in both Parliament and the Council. I regret the fact that the debate was dominated by emotions rather than reason. This is something by which I was particularly perturbed during the debates at first and second reading. The common position is not entirely based on scientific fact. The subsequent tightening-up of the common position that Parliament has adopted today, and which has already been adopted by the Council, is even further removed from what can be deemed acceptable on scientific grounds. It is for that reason that I cannot endorse this added stringency. However, I am also realistic enough to recognise that voting against it now will make no difference, and have therefore abstained from the vote on compromise amendments. For more details, I would refer to my contribution to the debate of 5 July 2000. The arguments I deployed then are still as relevant as ever."@en1
