Asbestos International Association E.E.C. Advisory Council Comments on the European Parliament's Asbestos Resolution (1978)

A seven-page document of February 2, 1978 (Document AIA/EEC/B2.1), from the E.E.C. Advisory Council of the Asbestos International Association, setting the European Parliament's motion for a resolution on the health hazards of asbestos (Doc. 344/77, the "Evans Report") beside the industry's comments, paragraph by paragraph, with an appendix. The motion called for limits on exposure, bans on crocidolite and on spraying asbestos, warning labels, and safe substitutes. The industry answered that medical opinion was not unanimous that crocidolite was more dangerous than other kinds of asbestos, agreed that spraying should not be used where dust could not be controlled, and argued that the safety of substitutes could not be proven in a short time.
