That this House notes scientists predict that the total number of asbestos-related fatalities over the next 30 years in Western Europe could exceed 500,000; and welcomes the motion agreed by the European Asbestos Seminar held on 7th and 8th June 2001 which calls for the establishment of local, national and international networks, accurate recording of the location of asbestos, development and implementation of techniques for treating waste containing asbestos, an end to the use of asbestos for chlorine production, the harmonisation of criteria for diagnosing asbestos-related diseases and compensation procedures and shared medical knowledge to give all sufferers of asbestos-related diseases equal access to the most effective treatments.
