lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the compromise negotiated on REACH between the Socialist Group and the Greens, Liberals and United Left concerning scope, substances, authorisation information, transparency and limitation of animal testing and the compromise with the EPP on registration. These compromises are not ideal, but they appear to be the best deal currently possible, given the political majorities in the Parliament. We do need to test chemicals. Recent medical evidence shows that each one of us has 300 more chemicals in our bodily tissues and blood than our grandparents did. We also know that there are increasing rates of asthma, cancer and other diseases which probably originate from chemicals. Some in the chemical industry argue that such testing is costly. But anyone who recalls the asbestos tragedy will know that money invested in the testing now can save thousands of lives and millions of pounds downstream. With the burden shared with our fellow countries in the European Union, this is well worth doing. And if it can be done while minimising animal testing, so much the better."@en1
