26. (the IPPC Directive) and Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants
L. vzhledem k tomu, že zubní amalgám představuje druhé největší množství rtuti ve společnosti; vzhledem k tomu, že většina lidí v rozvinutých zemích je vystavena účinkům rtuti při vdechování rtuťových výparů ze zubních amalgámů; vzhledem k tomu, že emise z krematorií budou představovat značný zdroj znečišťování životního prostředí rtutí po mnoho následujících let, pokud nebudou velmi brzy zavedeny šetrné technologie, které mohou významným způsobem tyto emise snížit,
L. whereas mercury in dental amalgam represents the second largest stock of mercury in society; whereas the largest source of mercury exposure for most people in developed countries is inhalation of mercury vapour from dental amalgam; whereas emissions from crematoria will be a significant source of mercury pollution for many years to come, unless abatement techniques that can considerably reduce these emissions are put into place very soon,
M. vzhledem k tomu, že nahrazení rtuti v měřících a kontrolních přístrojích pro spotřebitele a odborné využití je efektivní způsob, jak se vypořádat s emisemi, které nevyhnutelně vznikají při jejich provozu a odstraňování,

O. whereas exposure to methylmercury mostly occurs via diet, and whereas it collects and gets concentrated especially in the aquatic food chain, making sensitive population groups and populations with a high intake of fish and seafood particularly vulnerable,
P. vzhledem k tomu, že je nutné snížit vystavení citlivých skupin populace (kojenci, děti, těhotné ženy a ženy v reprodukčním věku) účinkům rtuti na minimum; vzhledem k tomu, že účinnost příslušných opatření je nutné bedlivě sledovat; vzhledem k tomu, že obyvatelstvo jako celek a především jeho citlivé skupiny musí být informovány, vzdělávány a varovány před možnými riziky, které plynou z požívání potravin kontaminovaných rtutí a jeho sloučeninami,
P. whereas exposure to mercury of sensitive population groups (infants, children, pregnant women and women of childbearing age) needs to be minimised; whereas the effectiveness of such minimisation needs to be effectively monitored; whereas the population as a whole, and in particular sensitive groups, need to be informed and educated about, and alerted to, the potential risks of foodstuffs that are contaminated with mercury and its compounds,

S. whereas, when reviewing the strategy in 2010, measurements in soil, air and water must have been made, must be publicly available, and must be taken into consideration,
T. vzhledem k tomu, že absorpce rtuti do jisté míry závisí na na schopnosti různých forem místních ekosystémů rtuť biologicky využít,
T. whereas the uptake of mercury depends to some extent on the bioaccessibility occurring in different ecosystems at local level,
2. v této souvislosti zdůrazňuje význam neochabujícího úsilí EU na mezinárodní úrovni, např. v rámci nástroje pro evropské sousedství a partnerství, o zásadní snížení emisí a používání rtuti v celosvětovém měřítku, pokud existuje alternativní řešení, za souběžného ukončování primární výroby rtuti a zamezení zpětného uvádění přebytků na trh,
Stresses, in this context, the importance of the EU continuing its efforts at international level, such as through the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument, with a view to reducing substantially emissions and uses of mercury on a global scale, given that alternatives exist, while at the same time phasing out primary production and preventing surpluses re-entering the market;

Calls upon the Commission to ensure that a programme of testing for methylmercury levels and the cofactors which influence the absorption and/or impact of mercury in fish throughout Europe, including testing of large predatory fish, is introduced as soon as possible, with a view to consumption recommendations being issued by EFSA for fish with high levels of mercury, with particular emphasis on guidelines for vulnerable population groups; considers that such a programme should take into account the special risks linked to the fact that certain ecosystems transform mercury more readily into bioavailable methylmercury than others;
33. vítá všechny akce, které Komise navrhla na mezinárodní úrovni, a zdůrazňuje význam toho, že Komise a členské státy podporují a propagují mezinárodní akce s cílem dosáhnout dohody o provádění legislativního nástroje pro rtuť;
