"Madam President, I wish to congratulate and thank Karima Delli on her excellent report. I had the pleasure and honour of acting as shadow rapporteur for the socialists on this report and I consider it my duty to remind the House of the outcome of the vote on this report in committee: there were 36 votes for and just two against. I think that is a very important point.
I would also like to remind the House that asbestos kills workers, that musculoskeletal diseases cause them pain and that stress leads workers to commit suicide. Our defence against all this is a new strategy for health and safety at work from 2012 onwards. The weapon with which we can defend ourselves in this situation is new legislation, a new directive. That, Commissioner, is in your hands; you have all the scientific data, you have all the documents and – most importantly – you have the support of the European Parliament to act and safeguard conditions of health and safety for workers, especially during these difficult times with the economic crisis in Europe."@en1
