(2) Efficient alternatives to phosphates- based household laundry detergents require small amounts of other phosphorous compounds, namely phosphonates which if used in increasing quantities might be of concern for the environment, particularly the aquatic environment and aquatic sediments, and which should therefore be investigated at the Commission's behest.

Recital 5
(5) It is notEfficient household automatic dishwasher detergents with a limited concentration of phosphorus are currently already available on the market. It is thus appropriate to extend limitations of the use of phosphates and other phosphorous compounds in household laundry detergents to household automatic dishwasher detergents or to industrial and institutional detergents because suitable technically and economically feasible alternatives to the use of phosphates in those detergents are not yet available. Given that technical and economic conditions for the use of phosphates in industrial and institutional detergents differ from those for household use, longer periods of adjustment should be taken into account when introducing limit values in this area.
