"Our country has had the highest rate in the EU when it comes to asbestos-relat- ed illnesses. Today we have a Government which is com- mitted to protecting workers from asbestos at the place of work, which is also giving compensation to dockyard workers, who have been the worst affected by asbestos-re- lated illnesses in our country," said Engerer. The report, which is being discussed in the Committee for Employment and Socials Affairs, will include an opinion from the Committee on En- vironment and Public health where Engerer was given the responsibility to negotiate the file on behalf of the Socialists. "Asbestos at the place of work is not only a reality for our country, but it is a reality that numerous workers across the European Union have ex- perienced. There are a num- ber of places of work where this substance is still present, and thus we must see that all workers are protected from the impact of this dangerous material to people's health," said Engerer. Engerer concluded by say- ing that as the Socialists and Democrats "we have EU work- ers rights at heart, and for this reason this report is given maximum importance so that we will be able to ascertain that every worker in Europe can go to work with peace of mind."
