This Directive forms part of a "package" of four directives on the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents: noise, vibration, electromagnetic fields and optical radiation. It provides for measures to protect workers from the risks related to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. However, it does not address the long-term effects, including the carcinogenic effects, that could result from exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, for which there is no conclusive scientific data establishing a causal link.

Instead of the eight-hour exposure limit, it was opting for a four-hour exposure limit.

That is why I sought further tightening of exposure levels in committee by proposing an amendment, which was accepted by committee, which would effectively halve the exposure allowed.

(2a) Given the Council conclusions of 7 April 1998 on protection of workers from the risks of asbestos exposure, the Commission should submit proposals to amend Directive 83/477/EEC in the light of the more detailed research on chrysotile exposure limits and the methods for measuring airborne asbestos (bearing in mind the method adopted by the World Health Organisation (WHO)). Similar steps should be taken regarding substitute fibres.

" (5) The Ministers shall conduct research or studies relating to a safer environment for children and shall (a) identify environmental pollutants commonly used or found in areas that are reasonably accessible to children; (b) create a list that has been reviewed by a team of scientists of environmental pollutants identified under paragraph (a) to have known, probable, or suspected health risks to children; (c) create a scientifically reviewed list of safer-for-children substances and products recommended by the Ministers for use in areas that are reasonably accessible to children and that will minimize potential risks to children from exposure to environmental po ...[+++]llutants; (d) establish guidelines to help reduce and eliminate the exposure of children to environmental pollutants in areas reasonably accessible to children, including advice on how to establish an integrated environmental pollutant reduction program; (e) create a family right-to-know information kit that includes a summary of helpful information and guidance to families, including the list created under paragraph (c), the guidelines established under paragraph (d), information on the potential health effects of environmental pollutants, practical suggestions on how parents may reduce their children's exposure to environmental pollutants and other relevant information, as determined by the Ministers; (f) make all information gathered under this subsection available to governments and the public; and (g) review and update the lists created under paragraphs (b) and (c) at least every two years" .
