为了婴儿健康，欧盟禁止产销含双酚A婴儿奶瓶

A Swedish mother said, 'Well it’s toxic, that’s what I know, and that doesn’t sound good to give my baby anything that is toxic, particularly when they are small.'
一位瑞典的母亲说：“嗯，这是有毒的，我就知道这个，而且给我的宝宝吃有毒的东西听起来并不好，尤其是他们还很小。”

A English mother said, 'I know generally that it's not good for the health of my child but I must admit I haven’t looked into it because as time went on, most products said BPA free anyway.'
一位英国母亲说：“我大体上知道这对我宝宝的健康不利，但是我必须承认，我没有对它进行研究，因为随着时间的推移，总之大部分产品都表明不含BPA。”

But the scientific case is not clear cut. The World Health Organisation and some national European heath regulators have said the levels of BPA are far too small to pose any significant risk.
但是科学事实并不清楚。世界卫生组织和一些欧洲国家卫生监管机构研究称BPA含量因太小而不能引起任何重要危害。

Marc Vromman, pharmacist in Brussels, said, 'The proof is not really there. The tests have been made by industry and by other scientific research, it’s contradictory. And that’s a big problem I find.'
布鲁塞尔药剂师Marc Vromman说：“证据并不真的存在。工业部和其他科学研究已经进行检验，这是互相矛盾的。那是我发现的一个重大问题。”

The ban’s been imposed by the European Commission in Brussels. It based its decision on findings by European Food Safety Agency, or EFSA, which were also inconclusive.
这个禁令在布鲁塞尔由欧洲委员会强行实施。欧洲委员会以欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）的调查结果为基础做了这项决定，而这些调查结果也很不使人信服。

Frederic Vincent, Spokesman of Health Affairs of European Commission, said, 'The results of the EFSA studies said we MAY have an issue with that, and so we decided to apply the precautionary principle and we decided to ban it.'
欧洲委员会《健康事务》发言人弗雷德里克．文森特说：“欧洲食品安全局的研究结果称，我们觉得双酚A应该有问题，所以我们决定采取预防原则并决定禁止对它的使用。”

The plastics industry has slammed the EU for over-reacting and playing on parent’s fears.
塑料工业已经苛责欧盟反应过度强烈和引发家长担忧。

Vanessa Mock said, 'So the scientific debate continues. And the question now is whether other countries will follow the EU’s lead in imposing a ban. Or whether they’ll leave it up to consumers to decide what’s best for their babies.
Vanessa Mock说：“所以，科学争论仍在继续。而现在的问题是其他国家是否会遵循欧盟带头实施的禁令。或者他们是否会让消费者自己选择，决定什么对他们婴儿最好。”
