Mr President, there are two reasons for this report on phthalates in toys: firstly, these substances are a health risk to young children, and secondly several Member States have already adopted their own laws in this area, which is why this report is aimed at reestablishing the common market for toys.
Hr. formand, der er to grunde til denne betænkning om phthalater i legetøj: Dels er disse stoffer sundhedsfarlige for de små børn, og dels har flere medlemslande allerede vedtaget deres egen lovgivning på området, hvorfor denne betænkning tjener det formål at genoprette det fælles marked for legetøj.
