The proposal is making its way through the EU decision-making process (the European Parliament and EU Council of the EU) and could become law in 2007.

Welcome to this beautiful world

The EU has taken a range of steps to reduce the number of dangerous chemicals to which we are exposed. For example, it is limiting the number of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS), some of the world’s nastiest chemicals which were widely used in industry and as pesticides (like DDT). They are toxic, persist for generations and accumulate in the bodies of humans and animals. The EU has ratified the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants which is the most important global effort to ban the use of these toxic chemicals.

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe
