Arvidsson, Cederschiöld, Grönfeldt Bergman, Stenmarck and Wachtmeister (PPE-DE ),
in writing.
(SV)
In our opinion, the boundaries in matters of public health should as far as possible be drawn at national or local level where individuals themselves cannot make decisions.
We in the Moderate Party voted against the above report, as it is our opinion that matters concerning the local environment – in this case concerning the indoor environment and passive smoking, for example – should not be dealt with at EU level.
The principle of subsidiarity should also be applied to decisions on the protection of local water resources.
