Deputy Durkan and others indicated that it does seem we speak much about co-operation at a European level but on this issue there seems to be none. The witnesses were here when we questioned the HSE and I did so myself. We asked about European standards and they just do not seem to exist. It strikes me that it is an area on which we should put a heavy focus.
