European Parliament
Goebbels (PSE ),
in writing
(FR)
I voted against the Frahm report. I am not unaware of the health and environment problems caused by ‘persistent organic pollutants’. But in dealing with this kind of problem, our Parliament is exceeding its legislative role. We have just adopted the ‘better lawmaking’ report. At the same time, we continue to voice pious hopes, ignore the principle of subsidiarity, forbid governments to conduct illusory ‘awareness campaigns’ and multiply bureaucratic procedures. A Parliament authorises or prohibits. It does not produce (bad) literature.
