"Mr President, these past days the lobby of the chemical industry is celebrating. It achieved at least 90% of its goals. It has changed REACH completely. From the Commission’s initial proposal, only a few things have remained. Yesterday’s opponents have become the most loyal supporters. The principle of substitution has essentially been undermined at the expense of public health, the environment and the employees of the chemical industry.
Today's compromise essentially means the Socialists have adopted the views of the European Right and of the chemical industry. It is far behind the initial Commission proposal, but also far behind the things we voted for, both at first reading and in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.
Even though I respect them, I honestly cannot understand why Commissioner Dimas and rapporteur Mr Sacconi were celebrating. Until yesterday they were supporting and promoting completely different things.
Congratulations Commissioner Verheugen. You managed to kill REACH."@en1
