The precautionary principle Malta Independent Online
Imagine waking up one morning to find a very large satellite dish less than a few meters from your child’s window on the roof of a neighbour’s house. You are at first concerned about the size and the view it has destroyed. Over your morning coffee you reflect that such a dish is too large for a television. Later during the day you meet the neighbour, who does not normally use the house but who happened to be there, and jokingly asked whether he is trying to get channels direct from down-under. He replies that he was awarded a couple of thousand euros for having the dish on his rooftop. Since he does not use the place often it did not bother him. He tells you it is a relay dish belonging to a mobile phone company. You suddenly have goose skin. You remember you had heard stories about these dishes and that the electromagnetic radiation they emit are harmful to children and that countries had reported many cases of leukaemia in children where they exist.You obviously take up the issue
