The question that we have to answer today is whether or not we want to protect these workers better against optical radiation, just as we do against noise, vibration and electro-magnetic radiation, and do so, moreover, to an equal degree in every Member State, and whether or not we want to guarantee the recognition of skin cancer as an occupational illness throughout the EU.
De vraag is nu of wij deze werknemers – net als bij lawaai, trillingen en elektromagnetische straling – beter tegen optische stralen willen beschermen of niet, en wel in alle lidstaten in gelijke mate, en of we willen waarborgen dat huidkanker in alle EU-lidstaten als beroepsziekte wordt erkend.
