lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, with regard to end-of-life vehicles, we have reached a sound compromise. For the first time, European legislation defines manufacturer’s liability in no uncertain terms. In 1994, the packaging directive provided for liability to be shared between the government and manufacturers. This has proved ineffective in practice. We are now dealing with manufacturer’s liability in the case of end-of-life vehicles. I welcome this for it will be in the interests of manufacturers to produce their cars in such a way that they can be recycled more easily. Unfortunately, the text stipulates that the manufacturer will be wholly or mainly responsible. This means that systems will be set up which differ from country to country, which is unfortunate, as this runs counter to the internal market idea. In the case of the electronic and electrical waste directive, this must be regulated more effectively. We need to move towards individual manufacturer’s liability. My own country, the Netherlands, has a great deal to learn in this respect."@en1
