<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Asbestos, which has been widely used in the Member States, is a noxious substance posing a danger not just to those who have come into close contact with it in the course of their work, but also to people who have lived near factories where it was processed. It is known to be associated with respiratory diseases and several types of cancer, especially pleural mesothelioma.  In Italy there are approximately 32million tonnes of asbestos cement (trade name Eternit) still to be disposed of; 3000 people a year fall victim to asbestos-related diseases, and, according to studies by the ISPESL (Institute for Prevention and Safety at Work), the figure is destined to rise. In the Netherlands 1000 cases are diagnosed annually, and in France the toll stands at 3000 a year.  The EU has responded by adopting Directive2009/148/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to asbestos at work.  Bearing the above points in mind, will the Commission take further steps to protect those who have been in contact with, and affected by, asbestos, including the families of persons who have died as a result of their exposure? Will it seek to finance the remediation of all sites where asbestos has been extracted or processed?"
