"Mr President, we all want to wear clean clothes and eat from clean plates. That is why we use phosphate detergents. The harder the water, the greater the need for phosphates when washing up or cleaning clothes. We know that the release of phosphates into drains causes excessive growth of algae, thereby also causing the loss of other life forms in our rivers. In other words, phosphate use harms the environment. I would like to ask two questions. Is it possible to wash things clean without phosphates? In principle, yes. Is it possible to stop using phosphates in dishwashers? Not yet. It is therefore right for us to try to limit their use, while at the same time accepting the fact that we need them. I am rather concerned, however, that we cannot even estimate how many jobs are put at risk by the intended harmonisation."@en1
