It looks like the simultaneous interpretation is working now.
My question is about asbestos.
In 1997, the Institut national de la recherche scientifique recognized that asbestos is a carcinogen. Consequently, France prohibited its use, sale and importation. Seven other countries did so as well: Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and the Netherlands.
In 2005, the World Health Organization stated that this was a necessary measure for the protection of human health and life.
Can you explain why, in 2014, the government continues to authorize and even promote asbestos if used appropriately?
