Willem van Loo from the European Cement Association' told the Parliament hearing makers of concrete, cement, paper, ceramics, glass, lime, iron and steel, gypsum, metals, mining and industrial minerals were concerned that they should have to meet additional safety requirements whereas their sectors were already reined in by several stringent EU laws.
