lpv:translated text	"Mr President, honourable Members, efforts to set limits for pollutants produced by waste incineration and to introduce specific control procedures are indeed a positive step. It is unacceptable for pollution to be transferred from the air into water and the ground. The directive makes some headway in that direction. Nevertheless, the problems inherent in waste incineration still remain, since it is the actual burning process which produces toxic substances, including dioxins. This applies even more to domestic waste which contains negligible quantities of toxic substances before it is burned. Treating dangerous and non-dangerous waste in the same way therefore exacerbates the problem. What is more, the cost of installing and operating incineration units is far higher than the cost of mechanical recycling or sanitary landfill. In a nutshell, the legislative proposal under discussion will not solve the problems inherent in incineration as a waste management method."@en1
