Proinsias De Rossa:

It is because people in Britain have agreed to do certain things when they manufacture goods to prevent pollution getting into the air. That applies across Europe. We need to promote the reality that Europe gives added value to the quality of our lives. It is true with regard to health and safety at work as well as in a range of other areas. We need to get that point across. There is great emphasis in the schools' transition year course on Europe and the role it plays in our lives.
