The Council shares the concern of the Honourable Member to ensure the prevention of this kind of accident, which can have serious consequences, particularly where children are concerned.

As the power of legislative initiative in this field belongs to the Commission, the Council will pay careful attention to any proposal that the Commission makes on the matter, so that appropriate measures are adopted as soon as possible. For the time being, it would suggest that the Honourable Member approach the Commission directly for more detailed information on the matter.
